I wasn't the most avid watcher, but from what I remember from him, I think old Rob would mock this drug-addicted current self in a relentless & hilarious way, alongside all the junkies in Ohio.Turns out he and his wife got addicted to Fentanyl and they both almost died.
I also thought he would have more sense to avoid drugs, specially one like that, because I do recall him in an old video praising James Randi, who I also like & was surprised by Rob mentioning him. It's actually this one, where he says that he is "one of his heroes":

This was back when the psychic million dollar challenge was up, and that's why he's mentioning him here (it's a rant against mediums/charlatans), but anyways, James Randi had a philosophy of skepticism and pursue of truth, and is on record saying why he didn't take any kind of drugs, if you want to watch:

Rob would have been wise to have followed this ideal; kind of surprised that he succumbed to this.
