Maybe he came off the drugs and has had that cold, sweaty "I did what....?" experience.

“Dude, did I really hold a chainsaw? On stage? Oh man…….”

Imagine the supply train. I remember a friend's actor that was used as "easy money" charging triple and showering it in.

All of those are words. I'm not sure what on earth they mean strung together like that.

Sorry, it is bad. The Friends Actor died of an overdose, he had multiple drug suppliers (supply train) eager to sell him everything overpriced - even to help him inject. Their messages between them were revealed - they knew exactly what they were doing - he was an easy target to milk for money - and they kept rolling up.

That’s fucked up. I read he once got a three hour flight or something so he could score painkillers. Addiction is scary as hell - my dad was telling me he has no desire to drink anymore and how he isn’t really an addict, then he came home with more beer again tonight. Scary as shit.

Technically he died of drowning while under the influence, not an overdose. If drunk person drowned in a hot tub, we wouldn't call it an alcohol overdose.

Obviously enabling someone's addiction is still bad. I just think ketamine, while it certainly has potential for abuse, is a useful drug for many patients and does not deserve the association with that incident or Musk.

I understand. I think ketamin is one of the drugs he takes. He proudly smoked weed at Rogan etc. 

The point I am trying to paint is that these people do not get a chance to stop, because every "fan" wants to deliver. 

Snoop Dogg can not get into a country without 30 people trying to be " friends" and smoke a joint with him. 

Microdosing in silicon valley is very popular and Amerika as a whole are not afraid og uppers and downers for each and every situation.

I genuinely think this is it
