He was addicted to Xanas along with opiates and other benzodiazepines but he was able to get rid of that drug after two years of addiction. In an interview with Genius, Lil Xan told:
“I was painfully addicted to Xans for like two years of my life. I was lucky enough to get off that shit”. He also added “I definitely learned that lesson after ending up in the hospital from withdrawing, I was doing Norcos, too. I was withdrawing from opiates and Benzos. It landed me in the hospital too many times. And one day, I was just like, ‘This ain’t fun, I can’t live this life.’ A lot of rappers don’t really be talking about not doing drugs. You know, it’s like the opposite way, so it’s refreshing, I think.”
