This just in: Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead

[cassandra and sara's daddy]

Have seen in some nooz that the link to other ODs is being investigated.

to illustrate how an addict thinks junkies everywhere are trying to score that dope.  cause its stronger/better

I know two little bits about fentanyl. One, a derivative of it was what the Russians used to incapacitate everyone in the theater terrorist attack. Second one, they had my dad on an IV drip. He was adamant that there were horns growing out of his head. Anything that would make a guy prefer zero painkillers 8 hours after open heart surgery is pretty scary. And then you want me to melt this and some other crap in a spoon and inject it? Hey, no thanks. Got enough issues with the flue shot needle. Junkies weird.

[T.O.M.]

yeah.  I can't wrap my head around that, or the tweekers who will buy meth made by a guy who probably flunked high school chemistry, mixed in his bathroom using crap he stole and stirred together, and then smoke or shoot it.

The acting fraternity has reacted with shock and sadness at the news that Charlie Sheen is alive and well in his New York penthouse apartment. He is 48. Sheen was found to be alive on the same day another actor, Oscar-winning Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of a suspected drug overdose. blah blah blah

When you've buried a few people you care about (I'm up to 3) because of drug abuse, your views may change.

I will say this: clinical depression and substance abuse are best friends.

yea  and the irony is the temporary respite is followed by greater depression

One of our counselors is fond of saying that damn few people use to feel good.  Most use to feel better, or numb, or to feel something other than what they usually feel.

Yep.  But he admits it, and (tries) to debate me on the AWB with logic, not emotion or personal attacks.  At this point, we respectfully, and fervently disagree.

Can he define what an AW is?

Only in the politically correct manner...

I would hope that anyone who successfully graduated Marine Corps Boot would be able to know the names of the parts of a rifle.

His PC definition of Assault Weapon involves "rapid fire/semi-automatic" and "high capacity magazines" since those are only intended to kill as many people as possible in a quick and efficient manner.

Sometimes, you just need to kill as many people as possible in a quick and efficient manner.

Was just discussing this with dad.

We both agreed he was a good actor, got a mild chuckle over the related candellight vigil meme and shrugged off the whole "anti gun" thing (famous actor is anti gun is as about as shocking as the fact that fish swim)

Dads parting comment was this:
*sigh* "I wish Justin Beiber would die."

[Balog]

. . . such as mixing heroin with fentanyl.

My understanding is that it is highly unlikely that is the case. A more probable cause is mixing opioids with other depressants such as alcohol.

I was a fan of his since he was "George hidin' in Big Daddy's pocket."

i often wonder when an experienced used dies if it was really suicide. though the quality of dope is much higher than in the past
