Ozzy Osbourne may have weathered the lowest lows that drug addiction has to offer, but the news that his son Jack was seeking treatment for substance abuse taught him a lesson that his own decades of addiction never did.
"I used to think they should legalize pot, but you know what? They should ban the lot," Osbourne told MTV News, addressing Jack's battle for the first time. "One thing leads to another. Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads to crank.
"When I found out the full depth of him getting into OxyContin, which is like hillbilly heroin, I was shocked and stunned," Osbourne continued. "The thing that's amazing was how rapidly he went from smoking pot to doing hillbilly heroin."
Ozzy's son entered a California rehabilitation facility in April to battle what was later revealed to be an addiction to the prescription painkiller OxyContin (see "Jack Osbourne Reveals He Was Addicted To Painkiller OxyContin"). Jack also said that he was drinking and using a variety of substances — including Vicodin, Valium, Xanax, Dilaudid, Lorcet, Lortab, Percocet and marijuana — before his trip to rehab (see "Rehab Helps Jack Osbourne Get To Root Of Addiction Problems").
Jack's laundry list of controlled substances made his father painfully aware of just how readily available drugs are. "When I started doing drugs years ago, they were hard to get, but today it's everywhere," Osbourne said. "It's not just America. It's not just California. It's not just Beverly Hills. It's not just downtown New York. It's not just London. It's all over the world" (see "All About OxyContin, The Pills Known As 'Killers' ").
This relatively easy access to allegedly "controlled" substances is especially hard for Ozzy to swallow given his firsthand experience with the damage that drugs can do.
"I'm 55 years old, and I didn't get off scot-free," Osbourne explained. "I have to take medication for the rest of my life because I've done so much neurological damage to my body," Osbourne said.
We'll have much more from our interviews with Ozzy and Jack in an "MTV News Now" special report, premiering Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET/PT (Jack's complete interview will appear on MTVNews.com when the show premieres). The show will be followed the next day by a repeat of MTV News' "True Life: I'm Hooked on OxyContin" at 6:30 p.m.
I'd say it was a fine summation of your dementia.
You need to seek some mental help for your delusions of normalcy.
You and your butt-partner Axel know all about what's gay, don't you?
Have you two got a room yet, or will you just use a stall at the rest stop?
No kidding. Is everyone missing the chronology of Jack's problem? It only developed seriously when the MTV show came on the air. Given the new found fame and a gaggle of sycophants at his beck and call, he could get anything he wanted. Jack Osbourne is hardly your typical 17 year old doper.
So get an amendment passed; any other response is pissing on the Constitution.
I'm not really sure what you're talking about, but it sounds like this is behavior that you are quite familiar with. Did you learn it in prison?
LOL................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................Bite Me, Action News dumb dumb
Bite me you ignorant half bred, brain dead, drug overdosed silly little moron of a pitiful exucse of a man. On more rational thought, don't bite me, there isn't enough penicillin in the world to protect me from all the diseases that one would get from the bite of such a diseased ridden mass as yourself.
And also.........
You swine. You vulgar little lower case maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Arkansas, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed (pot) , a fungus, the dregs of this earth. May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you.
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meat slapper.
On a good day you're a half-wit. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
I'm sorry. I can't go on. You are the epiphany of stupid. After this, you will not hear from me again. I don't have enough time nor desire left to deride your ignorant and half baked comments. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners.
I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything. Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective.
I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
(per post #1,619)
You were the first to quote him.
You posted the article.
Please tell me I still rate a "jack-ass" or a "retarded" from you.
Show me I can still inspire that slicing intellect.
If the offenda admits, the agenda it fits.
Bite me you ignorant half bred, brain dead, drug overdosed silly little moron of a pitiful exucse of a man.
I guess I must have hit a nerve with that comment. Can't handle the truth?
