LONDON, UK (Daily Mirror/Beatles Fans Website) - Paul McCartney says he got no thrill from heroin, but found cocaine more to his liking for a time. "I tried heroin just the once," McCartney said in interview published yesterday in the Daily Mirror newspaper. "Even then, I didn't realise I'd taken it. I was just handed something, smoked it, then found out what it was. "It didn't do anything for me, which was lucky because I wouldn't have fancied heading down that road," he was quoted as saying. The full interview is published this week in Uncut magazine. Despite enjoying cocaine for a time, he said he eventually turned against the drug. "I did cocaine for about a year around the time of Sgt. Pepper," he said, referring to The Beatles' 1967 album. McCartney confirmed that drugs influenced some of the group's songs. "A song like 'Got to Get You Into My Life,' that's directly about pot," McCartney said.
