I'm reminded of Len Bias. Stand out b-ball player from Maryland. Drafted second in the 1986 NBA draft. Died of a cocaine overdose that happend that night.

IIRC he had never done drugs before and thought that now that he had made it he could party a bit. The cocaine killed him (Messed up his heart.

Ever since then I've been even more paranoid about drugs than I was before! If one dose of anything can kill you (and it can!) then why take the risk. I'll just have a beer!

Unreal, but there are so many examples of that it’s ridiculous yet people still do it. Look at that kid actor River Phoenix, someone offered him coke in a bathroom in a club and he took one snort and *bang* that was all she wrote, no going back.. he died right in front of his brother out in the street, said he was flapping around like a fish out of water as his heart slowly failed. And he had everything that kid, easy movie star job making millions, he could have retired by the time he was 30, could have done anything he wanted and one stupid decision and it’s all over. Look at Phillip Seymour Hoffman, another idiot. I know people out there working 3 jobs, all they do is work to make ends meet, and here is a guy with more money than God and he’s doing heroin! John Belushi, Chris Farley, Whitney Houston, are other ones, the list just goes on and on on and that’s just the ones that are publicized, people die everyday from that junk yet people *still* start doing it, it’s unreal.
