      I think the video and the effort to help him “re-start” his career was absolutely people “stepping in” to save him. And I’d imagine his loved ones would describe countless days and nights of worry and heartache trying to find the magic words that would convince him to get (back) into treatment, to accept help, to make the “right” choice. And he may have even told them he was finished using and ready to turn shit around . . . but sometimes the last time, is the last time.

      Most people have vices, it's true. Most of them try and fight em. But putting methamphetamines, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl etc in the same category as gambling, sugar, or even smartphone addiction is brain-dead.
      With heroin, alcohol and all those drugs, you waste your health (liver, teeth, kidneys, eventually heart), psychology and money. With gambling you just waste your money and psychology. Sugar can be handled (and cut) much easier and most people take sugar without being freaks if they miss it.
      My law is, judge and let others judge you. Feel Free.

I saw a lot of my friends died from drugs, some were popular musicians in this region of Europe and i always felt a sort of discussing when they mentioning drugs in media after they died like ''oh etc''..I mean if they cared they would help while they were alive. Each person knows that drugs are not OK, so it sucks to abuse dead people for click ..I hope it wasn't becouse of it, but on the other hand maybe you ghad right.

    Another sad story of a life gone way too soon , impacting his loved ones.
    I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and we all did some stupid stuff.
    But with the poison on the streets now such as fentanyl , it's a whole different problem.
    Unfortunately, I lost my daughter Lacey in December 2022. It has immensely impacted my family , and she leaves behind her now 6 year old son , who has been in my care since he was a few months old.
    I curse the people who are peddling that poison every day of my life , and hope that karma catches up with them very soon.

    For all those who make fun of him not having theeth, this man was in pain and had the strength to get off the drugs, but sometimes we are our worst enemies. We need faith in our hearts. Dont knock a brother down. Who's down. Im sorry you could not overcome this demomic cr*p that has imfested our beautiful planet . RiP. We love you Shifty!!! I would have love to have met you!
