I've read/heard the same. Whether that's the truth or just myth I dunno? It dosen't matter what one's stance on drugs is, imo doing that to someone is just flat out wrong. From what I gather dosing people was pretty common back then. The Grateful Dead were known for doing that to people backstage at shows. To the point where if you wanted a coke with just coke in it, you'd have better have brought it with you and never have it leave your sight. If you drank anything backstage, left your drink unattended, or accepted a drink from anyone related to the band it was pretty much a guarantee that you'd be high as a kite.
