ale niekoniecznie, bo jest za mało kontekstu :(
może :był na haju,
albo: ześwirował

he was well gone
non-stop chodził na haju, brał/ćpał regularnie, był w ci±gu


Explanation:
a je¶li wiadomo, co brał:

ci±gle chodził na prochach
regularnie się szprycował/dawał w kanał/żyłę

Wydaje mi się, że nie chodzi tu o jednorazowy "wybryk", ale o to, że ten kto¶ był już wtedy "w szponach nałogu", no bo skoro go unikali, to chyba nie chodzi o jedn± imprezę.

gone
hopelessly drug-addicted (on the 'hard stuff,' eg. heroin)
