Grimes Does Not Like Hard Drugs, And She Wants You To Know It

Prior to releasing her album, Visions, in 2012, Grimes had a conversation with CMJ. One particular quote, ““I blacked out the windows and did tons of amphetamines and stayed up for three weeks and didn’t eat anything. I definitely can’t make music in the daytime,” has been deleted from the entry and added back from her Wikipedia entry several times. In a new Tumblr post, the Canadian artist took stand and shared her opinion on hard drugs. The post has since been added under the CMJ quote on the Wikipedia page.

losing people to drugs and alcohol is the worst because they destroy any good memories you have of them before forcing you to deal with the empty space they leave behind. also whoever keeps putting the few quotes i said early in my career about drugs back into my wikipedia page is an asshole. I don’t want that to be part of my narrative, and if it has to be I want people to know that i hate hard drugs. All they’ve ever done is kill my friends and cause me to be unproductive. Editing a website that people take seriously and reference all the time so that it looks like i think amphetamines are cool is incredibly irresponsible, people might read that and think its a cool thing to emulate. I hope you know you are doing the world a disservice. I just watched another person I care deeply about basically turn into gollum and my heart is broken.
