Learn English – What did Charlie Sheen mean when he used the phrase “banging 7 gram rocks”

phrases

Today’s Quote of Time.com (TIME@time.chtah.com) carries the following line of Charlie Sheen’s remark. Being totally ignorant of the background of CBS and Warner Brothers’ cancellation of the production of the program, I have no idea about the phrase, ‘bang 7 gram rock.’

I understand the line after ‘Because that’s how I roll …’ means he is single-mindedly do what he decided to do – to sue CBC and Warner Broth. Can somebody translate the above line into English easier for a foreign learner like me to understand?

"I probably took more than anybody
could survive. I was banging 7 gram
rocks. Because that's how I roll. I
have one speed. I have one gear: Go."
CHARLIE SHEEN, who on Monday night, in
addition to giving incoherent
interviews, announced that he plans to
sue CBS and Warner Brothers for
canceling the production of Two and a
Half Men.”

I was banging 7 gram rocks

-> I was taking 7 grams of hard drugs [crack cocaine, probably] at a time.

That's how I roll.

I have one speed. I have one gear: Go.
