The man is growing up finally. How refreshing. All those years of substance abuse had to have taken a toll on his body.

[sfvgt]

.....gee, I wonder what his views are on spray paint and transmission fluid?

[TroutStalker]

Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads to crank.

He'll turn into another mayor of New York.

[thoughtomator]

Watch how people who have derided him for years as a bloomin' idiot suddenly treat him as authoritative. It's magic!

"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.

First I've heard. Anyone know what meds he must take?

Jack's laundry list of controlled substances made his father painfully aware of just how readily available drugs are.

His first clue might have been the fact that he himself was always able to get any drug he wanted his whole life.

Good thing we’re paying BILLIONS for that effective drug war, huh Ozzy?

Have another drink. What tastes good with bat head?

"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."

With the example you and your social set provided, Ozzy, what's to be amazed at?

Breathing oxygen also leads to doing hard drugs. Why? Because everyone who has done hard drugs has breathed oxygen.

The same can apply for drinking water, eating, etc.

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.

Maybe readily available given the contacts and money that Jack Osbourne has, but with the exception of weed, the rest of that list isn't all that easy to get ahold of for the average person. Maybe if Jack wasn't hanging around the MTV set (both location and people), he'd find it a lot harder.

[sirshackleton]

Dilaudid? That was big with Elvis. Dilaudid is heavy duty, man

[toothless]

None of the literally hundreds of pot smokers I know have gone on to do heroin.

Jack is just a little **** who thinks he is god's gift to the world.

Just because he can't control himself is no reason to punish everybody else.

Besides, I'm sure he was doing beer before pot. We should ban that!

[Mr. Mojo]

"One thing leads to another. Coffee leads to Red Bull, Red Bull leads to crank."

Brilliant thinking, Ozzy.

[joesnuffy]

Bad choices lead to consequences
Bad parents lead to bad kids
Train up a child in the way that he should go...and even if for a while he goes astray he will return to his earlier training
Dont blame the substance for the abuse...the burden is on the user

[B Knotts]

He wants to ban coffee?!?

What a nut.

[journey7873]

This is going to stir the Free Republic potheads up.

[Question_Assumptions]

Now, if they can only get him off the faux-Satanism and into Church like Alice Cooper...

[nothingnew]

Jack also said that he was drinking and using a variety of substances — including Vicodin, Valium, Xanax, Dilaudid, Lorcet, Lortab, Percocet and marijuana...

WHOA!!!!...sounds like some of my earlier years...only things missing are acid and peyote.....I can still type though.

The problem with Jack is not the easy availability of drugs, it's that Jack has never heard his parents say "no".

There are millions of children out there exposed to the same availability of drugs that Jack is exposed to and they will not become addicts. They know there are limits in the the world. They have had loving parents who take responsibility for their kids and will set limits. Ozzy and Sharon have shirked their responsibility towards their children. Now they are blaiming something else other than themselves -- "it's the drugs." Here's the secret: and it's not the drugs, it's the parents.
