A lot of this is speculation, people. Apparently, Bruce ingested cannabis in food as an herbal suppliment for stress relief, etc. He was strongly against taking "drugs" as the word implies, and himself didn't even drink. Apparently this changed somewhat during the last year of his life (makes one wonder about the harsh realities of that kind of stressful lifestyle...sadly he probably wasn't very happy.)
Anyway, herbal suppliments of any kind can be dangerous if misused, and from Bruce's apparent personality (which again is speculation since I didn't know him personally) I don't think there was any kind of "druggie" type motivation in him at all.
He strived to keep himself in top shape at all times. He did however take "drugs" quite often in the form of suppliments, vitamin pills, etc.
So I think the mentality was probably that.
