I think some people read too much into things. Prince proclaimed to be anti-drugs. Yes, he said things that may have eluded to drug use, but Prince said a lot of things and he said things to make us wonder and think about what he really meant. He wanted to keep us guessing. He even told Wendy "don't give them everything", or something along those lines.....like, just tease us and keep wondering more about him. Prince purposely didn't want to give us all the deets, because he wanted to remain a mystery. He even said "My songs will tell you everything about me." I think he expressed himself through his music and that's how he wanted it.

Did he really say that many things that eluded to drug use? This statement is pretty clear, no guessing involved.

.

Well, Prince did say things that suggested he experimented with drugs.

For example?

My Little Pill "All my cares and troubles dive right off my windowsill everytime I pop my little pill. "

Joint To Joint " Up the stairs to my lovely room. Stroke your face and you're under soon.Sittin' in the corner in your underwear. Lettin' me caress your nappy hair." (don't get me started on the homo-eroticism here...)

My little pill is written from the point of view of a character in the movie "ill do anything" so it's not as if he is talking about himseli

Of course, he is. If it's in a song, it's about him. Like that time he fucked his sister and wrote about it? Gospel truth.

And he's talking about himself in these lyrics?

.

Rog: If you are a Prince fan, you would already know this information. You're not trolling, are you?

.

You don't remember the time when Prince was asked about drugs and he said he "experiments".

.

I'm pretty sure you were a part of that conversation not too long ago.

Today, I am actually on hydrocodone. Yesterday I had a tumor removed from my back. Odds are that is it is benign but it was 4 cm by 10 cm and causing back discomfort. I have had it since 2009 so the doctor (even though he still sending it to the lab) is about 99 percent certain it is benign (otherwise it would be about 3 times the size it was). Anyhow, long story short they gave me hydrocodone. I took one pill at 7 am and one pill at 3 pm. I barely noticed a difference whatsoever. It dulled the pain a bit in my back (but the pain at the scar area wasn't that bad in the first place.) the recommended dosage is 1 to 2 pills every 6 hours.

I bring this up because prince supposedly thought he was taking hydrocodone that fateful night. Imagine the pain he was going through. Imagine how weak hydrocodone would be to help that. Imagine he took 3 or 4 of what he thought was hydrocodone. Could four fentanyl-laced pills been enough to account for the 67 mcg of fentanyl in his system.

If I was in severe pain I would take painkillers myself.. ok..

Painkillers are not the same as drugs, imho.....

Imho, Prince died by an accident of painkillers..

I have never done any drugs in my life, there are so many problems associated with drugs, you can get a psychosis and lose your mind, and also, lose your wife and your job...

Painklillers are ok and acceptable,

Drugs are not acceptable, can very often cause you a lot of trouble in life...

^ This is imho..... stay away from that... is my advise.. peace....

This is really bullshit. There are painkillers strong as hell. No different than any other drugs. People can get really numbed by painkillers.

Really?

If you have pain because of sickness, then go to a doctor is my advise, let him/her help you.

This would be ok, but doing drugs yourself, smoking is stupid and not safe, doing hard drugs is even more risqué.. unhealthy, not wise imho...

Those of you, who are critizesing me, is that because you wanna do some kind of drugs.....

Strange, I wanne live my life without drugs, drugs lead to no good.. why is that a bad thing, according some here..?

So many reasons in life to stay far away from shit like drugs...

i dont think his opinion on drugs ever changed. i think its a bit different though if he legitemately started taking the meds for pain, most likely associated to his hips, and then got hooked, compared to someone who just decides... "hmm, herion sounds like fun". im not saying they both arent equally damaging, but its a very different journey to one than the other.

Yes. There's trying to manage physical pain and then there's trying to dull emotional pain.

Yes, and there have been many people who start on prescribed pain medicine for physically pain but also become emotionally dependent on them as well. Not saying whether or not that this is true about Prince, but emotional numbing is often the strong pull of opiates for many even when it didn't start out that way.

Don't remember seeing this quote before...found it on FB.

I believe him because he liked to be in control and you can't be in control being high as a kite. I believe he might have tried it and even dabbled with some cocaine here and there, but he was NOT an addict. There is no way Prince could be an addict and put out some of the greatest live shows. We saw it in Rick James, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston. We saw it in George Michael but it never affected his voice. He was still one of the greatest male vocalist of all time.

Theres no doubt he dabbled,Old friends 4 sale tells us that. I think he got addicted to pain killers and died from having too much in his system,I pray and wish it was not true,unfortunately it is.
