Daniel Larson's Substance Use

A majority of Daniel Larson’s imprudent and arbitrary actions and meltdowns are influenced by one of Daniel Larson’s many mental illnesses. But what is probably an underrepresented factor behind these actions is substance abuse.

Daniel, so far, is not extremely public about his substance use, but there are moments where he can be seen drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.

Alcohol use

Daniel is probably the most public about his drinking habits. Daniel is known to drink beer quite often with his meals and as well as using it recreationally. Because of his autism and intellectual abilities, he is probably not the best at moderation.

In reference to his tech destruction spree.

Him being drunk is, honestly, a pretty good explanation of a lot of Daniel's more violent behavior, especially his tech destruction spree.

Daniel has also claimed that one of the reasons his life was brought down is because of his past alcohol use, he states he was pressured into alcohol and became addicted.

Marijuana

Daniel Larson is not a very active user of marijuana, but has been in a hotbox before with one of his managers.

Daniel, possibly disingenuously, had a very intense reaction to the drug, with him screaming and yelling out of excitement.

However, the hotbox videos (at least the first one) could actually have been Daniel's reaction to someone in the car farting.

Prescriptions

Daniel, being bipolar, autistic, and schizophrenic, is in desperate need of medication to alleviate his mental illness.

He was prescribed Latuda and another currently unknown medicine, but does not take his meds because of his laziness, mental illness, and likely his lack of ability to refill the prescription due to his homelessness. .

Potential drug use

Daniel was spotted underneath a bridge with a lighter next to a passed out homeless man, signaling that he was potentially smoking crack.
