Houston said: "Before The Bodyguard it was very light. After The Bodyguard it started getting heavy. We were lacing our marijuana with base. We would buy a kilo. You roll it up and you smoke it in your weed. It's almost like heroin-cocaine speedballs but you level it off with marijuana, okay?
She added: "I didn't think about the singing part anymore. I'd totally forgotten about that life. In the Primetime interview, she firmly denied tabloid reports that she had used crack cocaine. I make too much for me to ever smoke crack," she said.
I don't do crack. I don't do that. Crack is whack. Today, Houston says, she is determined not to let drugs become a problem in her life again. Asked whether she can control her drug problem now, she said: "I'm not as excited any more about it. And when asked whether she will completely stay off drugs, she said, "Well, I'm not going to tell you that," but added that she is not self-destructive and does not want to die.
She said she prays every day that she will have the strength to keep off drugs. One of the most important is Perri Nixon, a friend who is now her pastor, and who she says has taken her "by the hand on a spiritual journey to get back home.
Not too long ago, many wondered if Houston's career and her personal health were in jeopardy. The second Jackson concert was the latest in a string of last-minute no-shows by Houston.
In the spring of , organizers canceled her appearance at the Academy Awards, and a few weeks later she failed to show up at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to help induct her mentor and longtime producer, Clive Davis of Arista Records.
At the time, her publicist attributed the Oscar cancellation to a sore throat, but Houston told Primetime she was "fired" because she was "not getting along with" the director, Burt Bacharach, during the rehearsals. She said the no-shows have been blown out of proportion compared with her record during her year career. She said that, looking back at the concerts she has missed, she feels bad for the fans.
Because if I don't have my best to give, then I can't give it to them. Houston's career took off when she was just 17, when Davis heard her singing in a nightclub. Two years later, in , her first album, Whitney Houston — with songs like "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love of All" — was the best-selling female debut in history.
All told, she has had five No. She says the pressures of working and sustaining her reputation as one of the world's greatest voices were hard from the beginning. I had no time to party," she said. I wasn't that normal year-old young woman going through her phases. In a interview, two years after their divorce, Houston goes in-depth about the couple's volatile relationship on "The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Houston's troubles with the law begin at the turn of the new millennium after security in Hawaii's Keahole-Kona Airport finds marijuana in her handbag in January. She is hit with a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge, but it's dropped months later.
Houston's then-publicist refutes rumors that the singer had died of a drug overdose. While she admits to using alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs, the vibrant vocalist emphatically denies reports that she's addicted to crack. I make too much for me to ever smoke crack," she says.
