According to Keith Richards, drugs just don't buzz him like they used to. (Odd, because from what I've heard illegal drugs are more potent than they ever were)

They just don't appreciate that you get tired...

From what I've heard, illegal drugs will never be as potent as the cremated remains of Keith Richards. (hat tip: Denis Leary)

If you mix two parts of Keith Richards' blood with one part Ozzy Osbourne's urine, you can use the mixture to patch the hulls of boats.

Two things to consider...

1.) As you use drugs more and more, you build up a tolerance. It takes higher and higher doses to give you the same high you once had. It's very possible that Richards has, through decades of not-quite-lethal drug usage, made himself immune.

2.) While modern drugs might be more potent, they're simply not manufactured with the same intentions in mind. People used to use drugs to expand their consciousness. Now they just take use as a means of escape. I hate to sound like an old hippie, but kids today don't want answers to the big questions; they just want something more "extreme" than what you get from Starbucks, Budweiser, or a can of Mountain Dew. I guarantee you that the LSD being sold nowadays isn't the same LSD that the Beatles used.

2.) It's all in how they're marketed by culture of the day. After decades of scientists developing LSD and offering it as a mind-expanding drug, culture followed suit. It seemed that everybody wanted to expand their minds in new and different ways. Maybe ten years ago, rave culture got big, and people started taking ecstasy to enhance sexual feelings. It seems that of late, getting high means either staying awake to all hours of the night or getting as buzzed as possible.
