RSVP78, He was escaping physical and emotional pain...not getting high. A problem, nonetheless, that needed other solutions.

I got into an argument with my boss after their Super Bowl performance. He thought it was terrible. I thought it was awesome! Until now, though, I thought he had suffered a massive heart attack. RIP sir, still ❤️ your music!

mac, Very true, and what's even worse is that doctors help the drug companies. How sick is that!

Although this may be true, he was also in a lot of pain with a fractured hip.

You ever wonder if people might live longer if they didn't take prescription drugs? You do realize drug companies just want to make lots of $$$, not actually help people?

Shame on those doctors for prescribing opioids since he had had a heroin addiction in the past so all addicts, including alcoholics, are always in a state of recovery. There are actually other methods to ease the pain.
