I mean....Prince HAD to have had SOME meds if the doctor 'found him that way'. So if he had meds...why the trip? It could be Prince was running out and had finished what he had left before the doc got there. But some of these guys are no different than drug pushers. I don't know.
The Walgreen's thing just saddens me cause it sounds so desperate. I still have loved ones caught up in this and money does NOT matter. Russell Brand's movies about addiction are really good and there's a part where he says that he can walk past a homeless person on smack and actually be JEALOUS of them. I've felt that too. To actually feel JEALOUS of a homeless, strung out junkie because they are holding and me, the guy with his shit together, is NOT holding. So effed up.
The fact that you're in a limousine means absolutely NOTHING if you are driving to a walgreen's with an opiate jones. You're in the same place as a homeless person with the same addiction. You could win a fucking lottery while you're jonesing and you won't be happy. Normal things that make people happy just don't have any effect on someone in withdrawal.
