When I tried drugs, they were (expletive) great, and they worked for me for years, and now they're turning against me -- and now I'm walking through hell, and this sucks."

If drugs were legal they wouldn't turn against him. His life would have been a walk amongst the daisies.

I wonder if Courtney Love will be blamed for this death.

Seattle is a heroin city - most of the abusers' deaths do not make the news - but they all should.

As I understand the libertarian argument, if heroin had been legal he would have never tried it in the first place. Liberfoolians never tire of telling us that people are driven to use drugs because of the exciting "risk" factor associated with defying societal standards. Somehow it adds to the drug high and makes it worth pursuing at all costs.

So, the argument goes, if we were to make milk illegal and heroin legal, all the grunge rockers would jettison the heroin and start chugging gallons of Grade "A" homogenized 4 percent "moo" on stage and walking around wearing white mustaches, perhaps even dying of lactose intolerence-related causes from milk overdoses.

It's the sort of argument that sells well to the junior high set and other immature minds.
