ua, as you implied, many highly intelligent people find it difficult to cope with the stress or tedium of life without recourse to chemical help. The same is often true of those who drink frequently (Allstar?), though of course drink is far more socially acceptable and less likely to lead to serious addiction or overdose.

Then again, some people say strange things when they're on a first date. She knows you work in the music industry (which everyone assumes is riddled with drugs), so she could even have been exaggerating a little in order to impress and appear cool. The problem is, you just don't know enough about her.
