Chris Brown is encouraging young people to open up and talk about prescription drugs.
Chris Brown wants more discussions about drugs to take place.
The 'Forever' hitmaker revealed that he, himself, took medicine for anxiety, Xanax, and has issued a warning to young people about prescription drugs.
The singer thinks it should be a more widely discussed topic because he believes young people are turning to controlled substances more and more now.
He told Hot 97's radio show: ''I was turnin' up. I was off the syrup, the Xanax, turning up. That's the hood cocktail right there.
''I'm not ashamed about talking about it because a lot of our youth is doing that now, thinking it's the cool thing to do. And I don't knock anybody's hustle or however they gotta do they thing, but, I just feel, for me, it wasn't conducive to me.''
Chris also admitted that being intoxicated had begun to impact his work.
He explained: ''I was falling asleep on video sets. I was cussing people out randomly. I was doing crazy stuff. I would wake up, ask my homies, 'Hey, man, so what time we gotta shoot this video?' And they'd be like, 'Dude, we shot it yesterday.'
''Not to say it's the best, but marijuana never messed me up, it always kind of relaxed me, I'm a hyper guy - but when I started doing the lean and all the other stuff, I'd be in the studio, and if I smoke, I go in there and write five, six songs, be done, boom. But if I go in there and do the lean, I'd be sitting in the booth asleep. And the music would just be playing.''
