Adorecream -- allow for the possibility that some of those bottles of pills may have been planted to create the impression that P was a drug addict. Placing bottles of pills in several locations in PP is not consistent with P's meticulous nature. If he was hiding an addiction, placing bottles of pills in places where they could have been found was not a very smart thing to do.
If P had severe pain and was using pain medication to manage his pain condition, I see nothing wrong with that. The issue is determining where all the pills that were placed around PP came from. It seems extremely contrived to me and fits into my theory that the pills were planted.
Referring to P as a junkie is very disrespectful and says more about you than it says about him.

Sorry, but I am vey anti drugs and given all his holier than thou preaching against the dangers of drugs this seems hypocritical. I don't think the drugs were planted or for anyone else. Prince was doing these on the sly, getting as many drugs as he could under fako names. these Kornbergs or whoever the heck they are were Dr Feelgoods, enablers just like Klein and Murray were to MJ.
Sorry I have no Toleration of drug addicts. Prince lied to us, that will go down in the record, especially as I defended him against friends of mine convinced he was another druggie rock star who died of a drug overdose, which is essentially what happened.
He was a relcuse and a hermit by the end, living his decrepit and falling down dated 80s mausoleum to himself, his last days must have been sad and painful. In that way I feel sorry for him and still love him. I am still a hardcore fan, but at the same time I just can not condone drug abuse. It just really shocked me when I read those reports released by the Minnesota whatever authority and the Reelz movie that showed him as some bizarre recluse living in the haunted gallows of Paisley Park.
I never loved Prince the person, as he was the opposite to me in so many ways. He was religious, conservative, sexist, unreasonable and demanding, whereas I am openly gay, atheist, communist, accepting of women as equals and very accomoodating in most matters. I always loved his music and his gifts, no one will ever touch his body of music, he had an amazing supreme level of talent, but that talent cost him in the end.

Thank you for your thoughtful, multifaceted response. I struggle to reconcile some of all that is Prince. : ) It sounds like you are farther along than I am with that. Like you, I have a lot of love. You mention "no toleration of drug addicts." If you want to see fewer people addicted to drugs, I'd suggest not using terms like "junkie." Also, I think any reasonable discussion of drug addiction needs to bear in mind the ability of drugs to remove pain, at least temporarily. Physical and/or emotional pain can be so intense that people will take their own lives to relieve the pain. I don't imagine that Prince did that, but some of the people I'd most like to hear on the topic of drug addiction are those who have personally experienced chronic, excruciating pain.

rednblu....I had previously posted replies on this thread: http://prince.org/msg/7/4...&pg=24 that relate to your request above.

REPLY #690: I have previously shared my use of these meds to treat my various conditions (symptomatic Tarlov Cysts, DDD (at various junctions along the length of my spine), Spinal Stenosis, Fibromyalgia)). Honestly, I take offense at your description of someone who might depend on these meds to live a productive, full life. While I realize my dependence on them, I am in no way, shape or form an abuser of them. I am not in a constant stupor, I do not continually trip up/fall down while walking, I am able to engage in coherent conservation, I don't vomit and sleep the entire day away, etc. Repeating what I have said before, I take some pretty potent stuff but no one would be the wiser unless I told them. Truly. No one.

REPLY #699: I have been at the same dose (milligrams) of my meds since 2013. And let me assure you, I still feel pain every day. Before my meds, I was between 8 or 9 on the pain scale. Now I fluctuate between 2 to 4. On my 4 days, I take my daily allotment. On my 2 days, I don't. And, to be honest, on my 4 days I want to take more to get my pain to a 2. But I don't, because I am conscious of the fact that that is a very slippery slope. I don't ever want to compromise the value these meds have to me.

Some may think a chronic pain sufferer is overly dramatic in their declarations of how these meds have "given them their lives back". But, for me, it's true. Before I began this regiment of meds (I also take anti-inflammatories, and other meds to help the symptoms of Fibro) my singular, most prominent focus on a daily basis was "how can I alleviate this pain?".

The info above does not constitute the entirety of each reply. If you want to read each complete post, follow the link above to page 24 (if ikt doesn't load on that page) and read Reply #690 and #699.
