Yeah they aren't really potheads. They've all smoked weed, but as far as I know none of them use drugs anymore.
Anthony has struggled with heroin and coke addiction all his life... he was on drugs for a while, clean for Blood Sugar Sex Magik, then on drugs again through One Hot Minute up until Californication. He had one relapse after that, but he's been clean ever since.
John was clean until he started using drugs after they toured for BSSM, then he quit the band and got addicted to heroin for a while. He burned his house down along with all of his possessions and almost died. Dave Navarro played guitar for the band until John rejoined for Californication. He's been clean ever since then.
Flea has used drugs in the past and maybe had an addiction at one point, but isn't nearly as heavy of a drug user as Anthony and John.
Chad drinks a lot, has probably gotten high from time to time, but no hard drugs.
Their original guitarist, Hillel Slovak, died of a heroin overdose in 1988.
As mentioned before, Anthony wrote an autobiography called "Scar Tissue". It's really an incredible book. His dad was a drug dealer back in the 70's, and Anthony used to help him smuggle pounds of weed through the airport and such. I think he was like 10 years old or something the first time he ever got high. His dad sold drugs to rock stars and other famous people in L.A. clubs. The book goes on to talk about how the band got started, Anthony's struggle with addiction, his various girlfriends, and plenty of other fascinating stuff if you're a RHCP fan.
