AllPossible Posted September 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2019 There's no solution to it. Addiction, even though it was tainted drugs, has so cure. The only cure to anything that is self destructing is self control. Those people took a risk, sad but true 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrknownothing Posted September 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I’m from south of Pittsburgh (Washington, PA) and heroin is a major problem. I can’t even begin to tell you how many people I grew up with, including my wife’s cousin, that have died in recent years because of that crap. Like AllPossible said, it’s on the people who have done it. No matter how much you try to help your friends they make their own choices and you have to walk away at some point because they’ll only bring you down with them. I’m luckily far away from that town but my parents still live there and I have to worry what some addict would do to score a few dollars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted September 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Quote Police are racing to piece together what happened on Saturday night, Togneri said, but have landed on a working theory that the men were at a venue together and gathered at an apartment after-party, where they took drugs together. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/09/22/dead-hospitalized-pittsburgh-officials-say-all-victims-were-wearing-orange-wristbands/%3foutputType=amp Where is the mystery? The police have just got to find where the party was. Then see if they can find who supplied the deadly drug, that will be the hard part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing romantic about drug abuse. It surprices me that some rock stars is still alive like Robert Smith, Iggy Pop, Nikky six, Ozzy osbourne etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the13bats Posted September 23, 2019 #15 Share Posted September 23, 2019 after the show i talked to iggy pop for a few, he was very nice down to earth fellow, he was wearing jeans so tight he basically kept the top unbuttoned, no shirt hes very scarred up from his messed up days and i just cant recall if i read it or he said it to me, about stopping that so he didnt end up dead. sixx is just a very lucky guy hes died 2 or 3 times so he says, oddly others joey ramone, lux interior, died of natural issues, stiv bators who i just love lords of new church and dead boys, he dies from getting hit by a car.

Yes Robert Smith (The Cure) they recently got inducted to the Rock n' Roll hall of fame. He made the album Pornography in 1982 cause he had to choose between making an album or to die of drug abuse. Needless to say they were on so much drugs the album almost wasn't made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
