SP interview denying use

So I've been searching for a video interview I saw for a while now, definitely 80s, where the guys deny doing any drugs/deny endorsing drug use. When I found it a couple years ago I was only searching for their interviews, nothing in specific. Now whatever I search I can't find anything even close and I'm beginning to think I imagined it, thoughts? I'm preeeetty sure it took place in Canada. Edit: it was outdoors, looked to be a early interview, and I believe it was Cevin, super young with an offended hubris to his response. It may have been another band, misattributed to SP, but it seemed to be a one off, short & hardly could be considered an interview, mainstream news channel type of thing. The question about drugs was one of maybe three they were asked, and I recall one of the others being about if they abuse animals, I'd be pissed too!

This might be it, thanks! I do remember it being a woman interviewing them but I'm probably mixing up different videos

I know they all smoked weed, cause that’s where their term for BRAP came from and then Al from Ministry got Ogre on heroin and I think Dwayne girlfriend got him on it too

I think there's a little confusion on what I'm asking here haha. I do know all about their addiction, the severity of it and when it got to it's worst, I'm just looking for a particular interview where they're young and being interrogated about drugs by some "journalist"

Also in ogres crypticon panel from last year he talks about doing mescaline on the job before even moving to Vancouver. He seemed a very troubled young man & I'm in no way trying to paint a picture of them as being perfect, or as "just addicts", simply doing research. Ps I'm not trying to be aggressive with these comments either so I hope I don't come across that way 😅
