Statute of limitations. It’s not illegal, in most any country, to have done drugs in the past. Murder is just about the only thing that doesn’t have a limit on when you can be charged with it.

Let’s say you get angry and you say to someone, ‘I’ll kill you!’ like in those scenes on Saturday morning cartoons.
The law suggests that despite killing being a crime, and even attempting to kill someone with premeditation can be a crime. As long as you don’t actually try to kill someone you’re fine.
Likewise, I can say, I did cocaine in college. And y’know what. The cops can check my pee, and swab my cheek, and they’d never find it on me nor my person, and I don’t do cocaine. So what would they hold me for?
We say things as people
* Say things when we’re too emotional to think about them
* Say things to manipulate the social climate and our current status in conversation
* Say things just to say things for God knows what reasons
And people lie, people lie a lot. For millions of different reasons.
So that’s about it

Because *anyone* can do that. It’s not illegal to take drugs, it’s illegal to *possess* drugs.
[The CPS](https://www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/drug-offences) states: “It is illegal to possess, supply and produce controlled drugs. It is also illegal to import or export drugs, or to allow your premises to be used for drug production.”
The act of doing drugs is not illegal. In jurisdictions where it *is* illegal, you can just say that “Oh, my speech/song was part of entertainment”.
