Sherlock has another power, to add to his already impressive list of superhuman powers – the ability to switch the drug taking habit on and off, without it ever permanently affecting his razor sharp brain or his physical well-being; even when he’s so spaced out … Continue reading Sherlock – The Druggy Detective
