Keith Richards says he’s done with drugs, ’cause these days, they’re just not good enough anymore.

“I think the quality’s gone down. All they do is try and take the high out of everything,” said Richards in an interview with Q magazine.

“I don’t like the way drugs now are working on your brain area instead of just through the blood stream. That’s why I don’t take any of them anymore.”

The Rolling Stones guitarist is known as much for his music as for his notorious drug use throughout his career.

Richards recently underwent brain surgery after an accident in Fiji, where he fell out of a tree.

“I’ve had a couple of weeks on morphine,” he added about his post-surgery treatment. “I did try to squeeze a little bit more out of the night nurse. She was very accommodating.”
