Roberts was on the LAW Sunday night, discussing his career, drug use,
retirement and more. Here is an excerpt, where Jake discusses his drug
issues…
"I think it's a joke. I want to reach out there and
tell people that I'm suffering from all these demons. I just want all
the kids to know out there that it isn't cool, don't pick it up and
don't try it because it is torment. Sometimes when you're an honest
prick, you get labeled as something else. After all if I'd have done as
much as has been put out there that I supposedly did, I would have been
dead years ago so it's been blown out of proportion, it gets twisted, it
gets turned, it's all about media having something to talk about you
know? Give me a break.
I've got a picture of Keith Richards
and it says on the front 'The real horrible thing about heroin is
sometimes it doesn't kill you, it makes you Keith Richards' and I've got
that in my house. I didn't do it for publicity (speaking out on drug
issues) I did it to help kids and they can whatever they want with it,
because I have helped people, I get letters all time and contacted about
being honest and doing what's right, come on give me a break - I wasn't
the only wrestler to do drugs."
