Jansen expressed dissatisfaction with the entire conversation. He emphasizes that, despite his past, drugs are not a part of his present or future.

Was it possible for Shayne to do drugs on Love is Blind 2?
Shayne Jansen claimed that it was impossible for anyone to use drugs while the show was being filmed because of the microphones that were placed all around him and allowed the crew to hear your whispers as well. He questioned how I could snort cocaine if whispers could be heard.
"Have I used drugs? Yes. On the show, I did not," Jansen said. "I have experience with a few of them.” “Nothing's been injected into my body, but I think we've all had times in our lives where we've done certain things.”
“People thought I was doing cocaine, I'm mic'd up the whole time” he added. “Everyone would have heard me do it. It's wild to think that I was carrying cocaine on me and that I was snorting lines and doing all this kind of stuff in the bathroom when I'm mic'd up. They can literally hear you whispering, every word you say; how could they not hear me do it?"
How does Shayne Jansen explain his erratic behavior?
On the podcast "The Viall Files," Shayne clarified his position and reasoned that his hyper personality was ADHD. "I have severe, severe ADHD, and you're sitting in this tiny, little room for like three hours; it's not 30 minutes."
"It's like three hours, and you have cameras here, cameras here, staring at you while you're confessing your love and you're talking about all your deep emotions," Shayne explained, referring to his time alone in the pods. "It's a very uncomfortable situation, right? You don't get used to it."
