Oh no, a rock band doesn't get into drugs...... . Seriously though, 
yeah,
like any band, they had their expirimentation with drugs at the 
beginning
of their carreer, pot, booze, etc. Supposedly Plant stopped smoking 
pot
in72. Page had alcohol problems at different points in his life, and 
more
ntoably, a heroin problem that really started to afftect him from 1977
through the mid 80's or so when he finally kicked it. "For Your Life" 
is
about the exposure and pressure to snort coke. Yeah, they did their 
fair
share. It's hard not to wu have tons of money and are on a bus all the
time!
