“I Wasn’t On Cocaine, I Was on Amphetamines” When Destroyed by Piers Morgan – Guido Fawkes

Owen Jones: “I Wasn’t On Cocaine, I Was on Amphetamines” When Destroyed by Piers Morgan

It was a big weekend on planet Owen after his car-crash interview with Piers Morgan. His fast rate of delivery and knocking over a glass of water on set raised eyebrows…

Turns out Owen has now come clean and tweeted that his appearance may have been affected by prescription drugs for ADHD. Fair enough…

And given @jk_rowling decided to amplify false claims I take cocaine before going on TV:

I wasn’t on cocaine, no. I was on amphetamines. Specifically Elvanse, 40mg, courtesy of the NHS.

It helps ADHD, but it’s not a miracle drug so sadly doesn’t cure fast talking or clumsiness. pic.twitter.com/V35t3qRoRy
