Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I had no idea she was into drugs.

I'll never be a star. They'll probably find bacon and eggs or the remnants of a few beers in my system.

Sad that people allow themselves to get to this point.

If you look closely at her pictures from the 80's, you can see the pinky nail she grew long for coke bumps. She didn't hide it.

She was a party girl but I'm surprised she would still party like that at her age.

I always wonder if it's really

her struggles, been open about it, and it's been fairly common knowledge for a couple of decades.

who can forget, for instance, his assured contention that no innocent person has ever been executed in the United States?

Hard drugs, especially heroin, are a nationwide crisis independent of wealth or fame. Anyone with a clue (which obviously excludes Bill) understands this.

1) she's ancient and I thought those were the kinds of things (or at least the types of drugs) you moved on from with maturity (not that I know much about drugs of any sort). I would have thought Rx drugs if anything.

2) she was so open about being an addict in books and interviews, etc that I would have thought it was a rear view mirror sort of thing.

It's amazing the Empire Strikes Back was ever made with the cast.
Hamill hung over most of it. Fisher's hard drug use,Harrison Fords pot smoking between takes being high on set,R2-D2 and C-3PO actors hating each.other. Still the best one too.

You don't "mature" out of drug addiction. And you don't put addiction in the rearview mirror.

Good grief, people...

Once you get addicted to coke or heroin, really addicted, it is very difficult to stay clean. You almost always slip back

ZGiants98 : 6/19/2017 6:55 pm : link
But usually ecstasy is a combination of cocaine, heroine, and mdma (and other stuff). So one pill could have contained everything mentioned here.

Cocaine and Heroin are two of the most addictive street drugs you can find. That slope is really steep. I feel like marijuana is one of those phases you grow out of, but Willie Nelson might disagree.
Speedball and ecstacy?

I'm not an expert here, but I don't believe that's accurate. Why would X have cocaine & heroin in it? Sounds like a sort of 'common knowledge' false fact. I do believe X has some sort of stimulant, but not exactly cocaine. Pretty sure there's no heroin (and not sure why someone would add it, beyond a user mixing drugs).

One note I didn't see mentioned - multiple drugs in her system I don't think necessarily means she was 'high' at that point. Most drugs are detectable in tests for several days or longer after use, so obviously after the high has passed. So she may not have necessarily used all at one time, but still likely had used all 3 within a short period of time. Maybe a but of a nit-pick point, but seemed worth mentioning.

Part of the danger of ecstacy is that what's in it is pretty much up to whomever is producing it. It's been known to be laced with other things.

ZGiants98 : 6/19/2017 10:24 pm : link
But pills that were "dirty" were thought to heve more heroine in it (aka you just wanted to lay down and be touched or whatever, pills that were "clean" meant they had more coke which is the kind that made you want to dance and get up. All had MDMA which was the euphoric feeling. I've never been a druggie or anything lol but that was pretty common knowledge back in the day.

No it's not. It's MDMA. Since many of the synthetics come from China there's all kinds of shit mixed in but it's now known as Molly.

The real issue is people don't k ow what the fuck they are taking way too often. One of my friends who is among time police Lieutenant says they often have stuff tested just to see what it really is. The dealers don't even really know anymore w all the synthetics flooding the streets
And drug dealers cut drugs with cheaper shit.  
LauderdaleMatty : 6/19/2017 11:22 pm : link
Not other drugs. I assume the richer you are the purer it should be. Anyone know any high end drug dealers? See if they can get Tesla. Got two kids in college. This shit is scary.
British friend of mine  
trueblueinpw : 6/19/2017 11:57 pm : link
Was telling about X many years ago. He said it was legal in the UK and the clubs actually had testing stations so you could make sure you knew what you were taking was pure. We were both in college at the time and I thought that was the coolest thing b/c it made so much sense and it was so different from our approach here in the US.

Anyway, I just wish the government here the states would get serious about this war on drugs. Victory is just around the corner. I'm sure.

Everything you said is true except that x is not MDMA. MDMA is MDMA and is a component in X. Or at least it was. Now Im sure its all a bunch fake bullshit.
