From all his stories, it is pretty evident he's never tripped on acid or shrooms. He wants so badly to have this crazy rock star persona and models his life after The Osbournes-era Ozzy, yet his glory days/peak/whatever you want to call it was barely anything. He has to be a poser when it comes to things like being a drug user in his 20s which is one of the more pathetic things. I think that gets overlooked a bit. It's a bit forgivable to be a goth poser even if he is at best a mall goth, stuff like that is part of his regarded identity and the old charm he had before he became this unlikable drunk misanthrope. Maybe something from Angie and Walt, but Josh has only been able to get "gas station" highs -- tobacco, alcohol, energy drinks, delta 8/cbd, spice, kratom. He's lucky to make connections for weed.
This is an idiot huffing Victoria's Secret cologne thinking he's high. He hasn't changed from making "jail house acid" with an orange peel and toothpaste in Job Corp. What a regard.
