He was obsessed by a fear of drugs & their effects believing himself to be in constant danger of becoming insanely high through people spiking his food or even by just touching a photograph of a marijuana leaf. The treatment programme he went through at a specialist American clinic was challenging to say the least. He was asked to shake hands & mingle with the local junkies fighting his anxieties & the urge to go & wash for as long as possible in order to 'expose' himself to his fears.
