Dag. Are you folks serious? Prince was dealing with pain management, and responsibly using pain meds. What killed him was a pill that would kill an elephant, which was stamped as a simple Hydrocodone. The inventory report shows several 1/4 and 1/2 cut other pain meds. NOT the sign of an addict. Wake the f@%k up. It appears that he was actually trying to get off his pain meds.

THANK YOU !!!! My man Gio.

People are not reading this and understanding what happened here.

The biggest mystery is where did these pills come from and why did he need to have or had these pills if he was able to get prescriptions from someone legally.

This is why I think something unusual happened here.

The plane incident was something totally different from what happened on April 20/21.

What's is the big deal? George is only saying what he knows to be true from his experience. I am sorry if it's that the answer some want to hear. People can't say what they did not witness.

Because they want the media to start getting into conspiracy theories? Why is it so difficult for people to believe he accidentally overdosed on prescription painkillers as the ME report says? He's not the first person it's happened to and he won't be the last. Why does there have to be some grand conspiracy?

It wasn't prescription pain killers. It was street drugs that were cut with fentanyl. There is a huge difference. The street drugs were not obtained legally. You are right, he's not the 1st and won't be the last, there is a nationwide epedimic happening right in our own back yards. That's what killed him, the street drugs that were made to look like the real thing only cut with fentanyl.

.

I don't know why it's so hard for everyone to realize there is a difference between legal prescriptions and street drugs. Just like there is a difference between being addicted to drugs for shits and giggles, and becoming addicted to drugs due to pain.

Sorry, Rogifan-you didn't learn something new. Sore throat is NOT a common withdrawal symptom, and a quick search will prove that. (Now, if you want to reach as LR did...sure, digestive issues are a common withdrawal symptom which in turn may cause vomiting which in turn may cause a sore throat...see how that works?)

Just another reach on LR's part to try to once again force an observation of Prince to fit her narrative.

There is a difference between recreational drugs and medical drugs. Notice that when most people call somebody a ´junkie´ or something like that, it´s referring to somebody who used recreational drugs (cocaine, heroine and such) and got addicted.

So, it doesnt mean Prince didnt use medical drugs for his hip pain. George was only saying he never saw Prince smoking pot or having cocaine in front of him.

The warrant is what KJ had said not necessarily the truth. They can say what they want now Prince is not here to defend himself.

Right. I guess I could see where vomiting might cause a sore throat. But the sore throat itself wouldn't be a side effect of going through withdrawal. We don't know what was causing the stomach pain and sore throat. People are assuming if he was sick it was due to withdrawal but we don't know that for certain.

Wow so we know he was going thru withdrawals per the info from the warrants. We know withdrawals cause vomiting. We know vomiting can tear up your throat and of course causes your stomach to be upset but all of this is reaching!! What are the chances that someone who is going thru withdrawals would have an upset stomach and sore throat? What are the chances that someone suffering from withdrawal was drinking smoothies and soups? What are the chances that being on a liquid diet and throwing up would cause someone to lose weight and be frail?

You are now discounting what is stated in the warrant about his withdrawals, the actual side effects of withdrawals and accusing me of making a narrative that was actually know from the start of the investigation via the media (that he was going thru withdrawals and seeing a doctor )

Because you do not care for the messager does not erase the facts . You need to stop embarrassing yourself. You do not believe he was ill with another illness and you now do not belive he was going thru withdrawals eek

There were only TWO pills cut. One pill cut 1/2 and one pill cut 1/4.

And those two pills were the Watson 853 which were supposedly the

pills that contained fentanyl.

This I believe. Back then it seemed like everyone was experimenting with all sorts of things and I believe he did too.

My firm belief for more modern times is that anything he may have been taking was strictly for pain control. Dependent on meds for pain control. Dude was not abusing in the sense of taking these things recreationally. Nope.


Has anyone that he worked with in the 80s said (or hinted) that he was experimenting with drugs back then? The only comment I'm aware of is Dez who said the Prince he knew wasn't a drug user. He said this after Prince died. Of course it's possible but Prince never really was like everyone else so I wouldn't presume it just because that's what rock stars did back then.

Prince was deeply hurt inside that during his early drug days he introduced Vanity to the lifestyle that also ended her life early. Vanity's drug habit was started way before 1987 and Nikki Sixx. She ended having more of a uncontrolled substance abuse with crack cocaine that got out of hand. It was too late for her, the damage was already done. During the last two months since Vanity died, Prince was severly deeply affected not just Vanity's death, but also from introducing her to the drug that ultimately took her life.

The problem with you referencing yourself as a "messenger" is the FACT that not all of your "facts" are such...


You're a piece of work! WHERE did I state that I did not believe Prince was going through withdrawls?? As A MATTER OF FACT....I DO believe he had an underlying illness, possibly the havoc wreaked on his system from POSSIBLE years of opiod/acetomenaphin abuse ate up his system and that's what caused his ailing health?

Like I said, a sore throat is NOT a common withdrawl symptom, period, end of story. You CONSTANTLY reach to fit your narrative. I'm not discounting anything...what I am NOT doing is MAKING SHIT UP!


common withdrawl symptoms:

*diarrhea
*abdominal cramping
*goose bumps/chills
*nausea & vomiting
*dialated pupils/blurry vision
*rapid heartbeat
*runny nose

no where does it state (if you can find it as a "stand alone" symptom, BE MY GUEST)that a sore throat *by itself* is a COMMON withdrawl symptom


and my guess is that you ignore the rather obvious that "herecomesthepurpleyoda" is/was directly affiliated with Prince/Prince's family....I'm pretty sure his statements are the most accurate, NOT your suppositions and speculations.smdh.....give it a rest already

And we also don't know for certain that he had some long term opioid addiction that caused him to become sick yet people seem to be making that assumption too.

A sore throat is a common problem of vomiting which is a common problem of withdrawals. Turn on your thinking cap. I never said a sore throat was a stand alone problem of withdrawals. I made the mistake of thinking somepeople could figure this out.

I have only repeated what was in the search warrant ( he was going thru withdrawals)

I am sorry you have some sort of problem with facts.

One minute on this board he is a drug addict who could not have been suffering from long term use of opiads ( which I mentioned a year ago he could have had organ damage ) now we find out he was going thru withdrawals and let's question if he really had the sympoms of withdrawals
