Yeah, rec drug use was obvious in his lifestyle. I can prove it. A LONG time ago, back in early 2001, he guest posed at a show in my home town (I'll keep that annon). Well, I dated the wrong person, and thank God I didn't ever marry her, but this was the fall of our relationship for sure:
We got in a fight, I went home, she went out with her slutty friends. Big ol Erik ends up at the same club as they were, and before you know it, they're all at an afterparty and Eriks running around in his underwear, drinking "GHB" like it's going out of style, and snorting coke all night. Ends up hooking up with my girl, doing who knows what.
Bottom line, is that's a fact of what happened, so I can assure you, from that incedent, and hearing how he just couldn't keep the drug use out of his life, probably had a good bit to do with the way he ended up looking at the 04 show.
Great looking physique for sure, he would have gone a long way, but you know how the pary life can end up consuming you.
And not to mention all the p*ssy. hehe
