Prince Harry has held a live session with Dr. Gabor Mate, a specialist in addictions treatment, and didn’t hesitate to speak openly about drug use.
The Duke of Sussex has confessed that marijuana helped him a lot mentally. However, his experience with cocaine wasn’t that great, as he claims that it didn’t offer him anything beyond having a social component.
“[Cocaine] didn’t do anything for me, it was more a social thing,” Harry noted.
“It gave me a sense of belonging and probably also made me feel different to the way I was feeling.
“Marijuana is different, that actually did really help me.”

On the other hand, the son of King Charles III also discussed about his experience with ayahuasca, a potent hallucinogen.
“It was the cleaning of the windshield, removal of life’s filters,” he added.
“It removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, release, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold onto for a period of time.
“For me I started doing it recreationally and then started to realise how good it was for me. I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and the pains of the past.”
