Default The "drug addict believes he is a glass of juice" legend

First of all, sorry if it is the wrong section to post this, but I couldn' t think of another section that would have fit.

If you' re a pro wrestling fan, you' ll know that there is a lot of urban legends related to this sport (wrestlers taking a crap under the ring because they had to remain under it for an entire show for a spot, falling asleep during matches, some dying and their gimmick being given to another wrestler who looks like them, etc...), and the wrestling news site being... hard to rely on, they often actually are the origin of these legends. There is even a list of pro wrestling urban legends.
But most of these legends usually remain specific to the wrestling world. So, if there was ONE legend that I would never have expected to see appear in wrestling-related stories, that would be the "drug addict believes he is a glass of juice" one. Yet, according to a forum I visit every day, a website once claimed that Rob Van Dam, a wrestler who has been busted smoking marijuana in the past, was once so high that he believed he was a glass of orange juice.
Note that this time, the drug mentionned is marijuana and not LSD, and that the man didn' t need to be sent in an asylum (according to the article, he only believed it while he was high).

Unfortunately I don' t have a link to the original article, but as you can expect, it was as fake as it gets, but I was stunned to see this legend surface again, and in such a background.
