According to Bang! Showbiz, Jon Bon Jovi has admitted he used to be a drug dealer. The BON JOVI frontman confessed he bought and sold marijuana while he was a struggling teenager growing up in New Jersey.
He said: "I did the drug thing very young and wised up very young too, because I was into drugs a little too much. I was entrepreneurial even then, buying quarter pounds of dope and trying to make a couple of bucks."
The singer said a bad experience with illegal substances at an early age stopped him from becoming a user when he eventually found fame and fortune. The father-of-four said: "Did you ever smoke dope that was laced with PCP (phencyclidine) and then have that whole summer of hallucinations? It was fucking awful. That's why I've never been a drug guy. I always felt I didn't have the mental stability."
