T.I. will go into detail about how he began abusing drugs during an interview, which will appear in VIBE magazine’s December issue.According to the southern rapper, it all started with his dental surgeries. He had some prescriptions for pain medication and continued to use the pills long after the pain had subsided.
“After the pain went away, I kept taking it. I had like five, six prescriptions. So, I had, like 80 pills. Everybody else might drink or smoke a blunt; I took a pain pill,” said Tip.
Since being arrested in September and prior to going back to an Arkansas federal prison though, he has attended one-on-one and group therapy sessions to deal with his addiction to pills and codeine and says that the meetings helped him fully realize his problem.
“If you rationalize putting yourself in harm’s way, risking your well-being, your health, your freedom, your family’s well-being and livelihood in order to be high, that’s the rationale of an addict,” he said.
As far as his wife’s recent arrest for drug possession, T.I. revealed that she had gone to some meetings with him but he stopped short of saying she has a drug problem. According to him, her main involvement with drugs is weed and it isn’t addictive.
“I don’t know. She went with me to some meetings and counseling. She ain’t got no problems,” T.I. said. “Her thing is she smokes. Smoking weed is different than taking pain pills. You can smoke weed today and not smoke another blunt for another three months.”
