I'm not doubting it. The other roommate had real drug issues, so bad that his whole head looked swollen sometimes, like he was retaining water or something. He was a nice enough guy too, but I think he was certainly paranoid. You smoke as much as he did, you'd be paranoid too...but I think smoking, like the Oxy, was a coping mechanism.

Hey, after my brother graduated, we ended up running into him over a year later, and he was looking great. Really stopped everything but weed, and almost looked like a different guy.

Still, both guys were as decent as most people I've known, so there's that.
