Prince toured a lot. One of the last countries he visited was Australia. One of the strictest border forces in the world.

My point is most countries do checks with who is coming in and what is coming in with them, celebrities too. If Prince or entourage were carrying lots of meds around, wouldn't this have come to light? Didn't Stallone get busted for Human Growth Hormone there? Didn't Johnny Depp have problems with his dogs? Didn't Diana Ross feel violated at London Heathrow?

My second point is I've never believed Prince was a heavy med user for the above reasons. Can't tour and carry that shit around, can't book a tour and guarantee any illicit meds will be there in the country you're touring. And he always toured. Maybe I'm naive.

Fed Ex? Sent directly to Hotel. Private Jets probably face less scrutiny too.

People who fly opperate private jets are not allowed to avoid checks. Fed- Ex checks for drugs.

good point, maybe they had contacts in the country. who knows.

They would never had a chance here either. Prince's jet touched down at Auckland International (Or it was Whenuapai, a private ex military airbase I heard) at 4.30pm and he was on stage by 6.45pm - Auckland traffic if anyone knows it is notorious in gridlock around this time and it being March madness (Late Feb/Mar when all the school and uni students are back), would have been worse.

.

Prince did his shows at 6.30pm and 10.pm and apparently an aftershow around 2am, and by 10am he was out of NZ heading for Perth Australia (6000km and a 6 hour flight rom Auckland) that night. If Prince was using, he sure was not letting on and would probably have not had time to ingest. There was all of 90 minutes between the shows and he looked and sounded great that night.

.

So I agree with everything our Aussie mates above say. For those not in the know, this is the Microphone and Piano tour in early 2016.

I fly and travel with Zolpidem and don't necessarily carry a prescription with me. Even though it can be used for recreative purposes, it's prescribed medication, not an illegal substance that'll put me in jail like coke or even weed. Worst that could happen is what? They'll confiscate it because no prescription? I'm not even sure they would.

And I'm not a multimillionaire superstar with an army of top-notch lawyers flying in private jets, mind you .

Maybe he had an Rx for these drugs back then. He could have had all his meds written under another name just like he did on 20th with Kirk. I have doubts he just started doing this on April 20th.

Don’t be so naive. Wat hbthe Whitbey documentary ‘Can I be me’ for your answer. Those stars havecways to get around barriers

We are not being naive. Anyone could see Whitney was on drugs for years. With the work ethic that Prince had he was not strung out on drugs for years and I know if he had surgery he had an RX and probaly had an Rx for chronic pain. These meds are highly addictive and damaging to one's healh under a doctor's care abuse or no abuse if he had been taking them as a maintence drug he was going to have problems with them or just have chronic pain.

I think as the years go by we are going to find out more about his health issues and see the stituation for what it was despite the fact that this will upset people who are stuck on the recreational drug addict angle.

Everyone is pointing fingers at Prince being a drug user. May be it is possible, his use of these painkillers was very spasmodic and not regular. And how come no one is pointing fingers at the two parasites caught at Pailsey Park with drugs to supply Prince - namely Daniel Kornfeld whose backpack contained a selection of illegal drugs and used a story his father ran a rehab facility, and then dodgy doctor Michael Todd Schulenberg who wasa regularly supplier of painkillers to "Peter Bravestrong" and Kirk Johnson. It seems nothing was followed up with these guys, were they released or charged.

.

I went through phase of thinking he was guilty, but now I am not convinced anymore. I think at most he occasionally turned to these when he needed to do a show and probably knew that they were for medication and not regular use. It is the media and gossip websites that have portrayed as the image of a junkie.

Or has the Zionmedia shut that debate down?

This is more then likely the case. If he was guzzling pills for 20 years he would have never been able to be as productive. It is common sense.

Don't worry some of us see a problem with someone possibly trying to withdraw being brough more drugs as if the meds to withdraw were not avalible in MN or the surrounding area.

Prince could have got on a air ambulance to get help. He did not need the Kornfields who would of have no idea what he took the night before. What sort of doctor would even agree to this?

Michael Todd Schulenberg has already been caught in a lie and it would not surprise me if he is the subject of the wrongful death suit. The question is why is the ME and police refusing to prove information to the wrongful death lawyers when the info would be under seal.

I am not into conspiracy but it really appears no one gives a shit and a possibly incompetent Dr. is being allowed to continue on. How many more patients that are using pain pills are going to be prescribed Xanax so they may kill thenselves by mixing the two or is it okay to write RXs under another person's name.

Where is the investigation into his conduct?
