Relates Mewes: "She used to check into hotels and take TVs and sell them...I guess it really ain't funny, but it's weird because it was so fucked up...She used to steal mail. I used to drive around with her and she'd pull up and make me reach into mailboxes. It really wasn't pleasant."
Although this exposure to drugs at first served to make him averse to them, he eventually began using them after graduating high school.
His best friend was future filmmaker Kevin Smith
, who describes his friend thus: "He's the kind of dude you know for five minutes and he whips his cock out. I was like, Somebody should put this dude in a movie. I just wanted to see if anybody outside our group of friends finds him as funny as I do."

clinics in 1997, after noticing Mewes was nodding off, which he initially attributed to narcolepsy
. Mewes sobered up until about a week into the Dogma shoot, when he learned he could fake his urine tests by abstaining from drugs for three days beforehand and then shooting up the rest of the week. It was also during filming for Dogma that Mewes' mother was diagnosed with AIDS
. In another attempt to get clean, Mewes moved in with his mother, who gave him OxyContin to ease the withdrawal symptoms; Mewes was soon addicted to that substance as well.
In 1999 Mewes was arrested in New Jersey for heroin possession. His probation sentence included community service, drug counseling, and regular court appearances in New Jersey.

Smith had taken Mewes in to live with him and his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith
, but evicted him after catching him using again. During this period, he stole Smith's ATM
card and charged $1,100, and had heroin shipped
to the hotel where a press junket for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
was being held. Smith had Mewes check into various rehab facilities, including Promises in Malibu
, where his visit coincided with frequent costar Ben Affleck
's stay for alcoholism

Mewes waited a year before attempting to revive his career, and eventually got new agent at the Endeavor agency. In a July 2006 interview he reported that he was sober, and harbored no urges to drink or use drugs.
