#and i also think if he found a random pill in the barrack bathroom he would take it no questions asked

I think about this often and never write about it but I think Ghost would be a drug user. Not like he smokes weed, but like Price tells him if/when the higher ups have decided to run drug tests so he has time to get clean enough to pass(or find someone willing to piss in a cup for him).

And it's more of a "forced to go on leave may as well make the worst of it" thing, he knows better than to try and dose himself when he's in the field, but that also means leave is sparse and spent on base where Price can make sure his most loyal dog doesn't accidentally euthanize himself. Ghost would never call himself an addict, he's not like his father, or Tommy, he can control himself, he isn't going to fall into the same habits, he doesn't need it...

But it certainly makes everything feel a whole lot easier.
