Blind Item #2
It wasn't that long ago that I told you about the former A+ list child actor turned semi-recluse living off his youth made millions hanging out with his former drug dealer. It turns out all that hanging out has our actor hooked on heroin again. When you get back on it, that is when that danger is there to overdose.
McCauley Culkin
ReplyDeleteFrankie Muniz? Just to be different
ReplyDeleteI hate heroin.
ReplyDeleteMaCaulay Culkin
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this, so would some one fill me in: How does MaCauley become/or was he already a heroin addict before the time of him dating Mila? I want to believe he was addicted before dating Mila? But, did she ever say anything to anyone to get him help while dating?
ReplyDeleteI ask this because (apparently) she's NOT an addict, or is she?
I always thought that people who lived together for such a long time usually were into drugs equally and shared their addiction, don't they? Or, am I wrong?
I understand MaCauley uses drugs to self medicate for some reason; but I also find his drug addiction and her non-drug addiction puzzling.
Anyway, good for her and the rumor she is trying to help him recently.
Edward Furlong?
ReplyDeleteThat's what happened to Cory Monteith.. he had just got out of rehab. Was in Vancouver shooting a movie but it was the town that had the heroin demons attached and a character too close to home.. Thought he could handle a hit the size he used prior to rehab. Hence the overdose.
ReplyDeleteSame could happen here.
How is your niece doing?? Is she from the Massachusetts area by chance?
ReplyDeleteRight now in a "recovery house" near Philadelphia, supposedly.
ReplyDeleteIn some ways I feel like she's already gone.
Thanks for asking. <3
" That’s what happened to Cory Monteith.. " Didn't something like this happen to P. S. Hoffman, too, kinda?
ReplyDeleteHe was off heroin for like, 30 years or so, and soon after he started again, he overdosed?
I hate almsot ALL drugs, but herorin, and crack, these are even more scary, to me.
so sad...I asked if she was in the Massachusetts area cause I have seen so many shows how like half the population there is hooked on the drug--it is unbelievable! I am no square, and of course I would not touch the stuff with a 10 ft poll-but I wouldn't know where to find it if my life depended on it...I could buy pretty much anything else just walking down the street though...
ReplyDeleteWhen Sarah Jessica Parker was living with Robert Downey, Jr. back in the day, she was not on drugs, while he was totally hooked. She tried to get him clean but she couldn't. I don't think Philip Seymour Hoffman's girlfriend was on drugs when he overdosed on heroin. A lot of significant others don't do drugs while their insignificant other does.
ReplyDeleteOD'ing right out of rehab is common, sadly. they come out and use and their body literally can't handle it anymore.
ReplyDeletethe US needs to get real about opiate addiction and give these people suboxone. the rehab model just doesn't work.
He and Rachel Miner did drugs when they were married.
ReplyDeleteThe whole East coast of New England is hooked on H. When I lived in Vermont there was an epidemic. The cops focus on speed traps but the local H dealer everyone knows just keeps his business going. And yes OD's happen all the time. The Dealers start up from Boston to Maine to New Hampshire to Montreal or New York City/Jersey up Albany to Burlington to Montreal. The whole damn New England is covered in this shit. Overwhelming communities and law enforcement. But lots of parents are hooked on their own addictions so it's a vicious cycle. Much support to your niece Kno Won Uno.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just the east coast, it's a huge problem in the midwest too. That shit is cheaper then pain killers.
ReplyDeleteI survived a cancer diagnosis, pure 100% morphine is a beautiful thing...
ReplyDeletex 10,000,000.
ReplyDeleteVery sad.
Oh crap...I'm now in the Midwest. I'm assuming that it's everywhere but at least in MN there are tons of resources support groups and one on one counseling. I had a one on one counselor to help me with alcohol and was very successful. In Vermont boredom among people and few opportunities really fed that drug machine. In Burlington, the doctors kids had the money and the means to get hooked on opiates. Same for Rochester MN and the Mayo Clinic. I see your point.
ReplyDeletethe reason we have a heroin epidemic is because doctors have been overprescribing opiods LIKE MAD. and now, this is where we are. when the tolerance hits, people look to heroin bc it is an opiod and works just like the painkiller ones.
ReplyDeleteits funny how you never hear about the epidemic, but not so much about the origin. but then again, when you watch the news, every commercial is for a prescription.....the pharmaceutical industry is HUGELY powerful in this country. The United States and New Zealand are the only countries I believe in the 'western world' that air on TV prescription ads. Everywhere else, I believe it is banned.
"We need them just dying enough to need the medication, but just alive enough to pay for it."
its funny how you hear* about the epidemic, but not so much about the origin.
ReplyDeletesry typo
and also, one size fits all rehab is ridiculous. people blame the addicts when those subpar programs work (even the celebrity ones are subpar). The whole system is f**ked. I've never been addicted but I've watched a person I loved die because treatment was one-size-fits-all.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the people behind the 1) prescribing and 2) the treatment.....have blood on their hands.
programs dont*** work ahhh Im so bad at this
ReplyDeleteYeah right it is the docs that prescribe opioids for patients in pain that's the real problem. While I agree that opioids are overprescribed, I think the addicts themselves need to be held responsible for their actions. It's not like someone goes and forcibly injects them with H. People should never ever try heroin, because once you do it, you cannot get off of it. EVER.
ReplyDelete+1,000 about those commercials @ burrito
ReplyDeleteWell, the powers that be have this fab little place they create heroin. They bought in recently. It's called Afghanistan. There is was a dip in production when they took over (by force) but now the world heroin trade has never been so productive! Those nice army people look after it like shepherds over sheep.
ReplyDeleteChasing the dragon...trying to get that same high as the first try, but it's never as high.
ReplyDeleteHeroin is cheaper than pain meds and weaning off isn't one-size-fits-all, just as prescriptions aren't. Drug companies and insurance companies rule almost everything and "create jobs" while deciding fates, denying alternative medical options, and taking lives.
