After Lightfoot and the Band, around 1976, Smith became a backup singer for Hoyt Axton, who was struggling with cocaine addiction at the time.[23] She sang on his album Fearless (1976) and co-wrote the song "Flash of Fire" with Axton.[24]
Smith began using heroin in the late 1970s. In Bob Woodward's book Wired, she appears as a drug dealer to Rolling Stones band members Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards during their touring and rehearsals as the New Barbarians. She moved to Los Angeles and, as her addiction increased, she became a full-time drug dealer and courier to Wood, Richards, and others in the entertainment industry. Smith first met comedian John Belushi on the set of Saturday Night Live in 1976, when the Band were the musical guests.[25]
She later met Belushi again through Wood and Richards, when Belushi contacted her to purchase the drugs that eventually killed him. Smith claimed that she injected Belushi with 11 speedballs (a combination of cocaine and heroin) at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, California in March 1982, and that this injection led to his death. According to Woodward, Robin Williams was present and was "creeped out" by Smith, whom he deemed a "lowlife."[26] Belushi had been battling cocaine addiction for years and combining it with occasional heroin use
