* WordOfStPaul: While the writers haven't said anything one way or the other about whether Tasha's speech to Wesley was merely her recounting drug use she had witnessed on her homeworld, or her indirectly confessing to having been a former addict herself, Denise Crosby prefers to think of the latter one as being true.

* AscendedFanon: A variation, since the Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse novels aren't generally considered canon per se, but when the episode first aired many fans took Tasha's lengthy description of the effects of drugs as proof that Tasha ''herself'' had once been a drug addict. Mostly this was just because it made the scene seem like actual CharacterDevelopment for Tasha instead of the DrugsAreBad lecture it really was, but the various ''Star Trek'' novel writers seized upon this and explicitly wrote that Tasha tended to waver in and out of addiction during the course of her childhood and teenage years. Of course, given that she spent her pre-Starfleet years dodging rape gangs on a CrapsackWorld, drug addiction doesn't seem at all implausible.
