Years ago I knew a long time AA member who ran sober living and halfway houses. He could observe a substance abuser's attire, demeanor, state of hygiene, behavior and speech for a few minutes and determine just what the individual was on or had been using. Marijuana, alcohol, painkillers, heroin, meth, cocaine, whatever. I found it remarkable but he proved to be correct every time.
