Yup, that's right, according to the Daily Mail anyway...
Can't you just see it now, Moses sat on top of a mountain, off his face on LSD having a proper wicked conversation with the Boss man upstairs.
Maybe a little gurning like these sexy ass people here? Who knows. But it's funny as fuck to think about don't you think?
Now I'm not going to lie here and say that I've never looked like these, ahem, attractive men and women here, because I have. Only I had the sense to know when to stop. Usually before I chewed my own cheek off. I want to write about the sheer amount of 'celebrities' and non celebrities who have died from drug overdoses, be it on purpose or accidentally.
Leah Betts is probably the most famous unknown person to die because of drugs, although it was not actually the ecstasy tablet she took that killed her. Leah's confirmed cause of death was water intoxication. There is a fine line between how much water you should drink when taking ecstasy, and as this proves, if you drink too much it can be disastrous.

Since I've known about drugs, and been able to form opinions, I've had this view that when in the public eye, you need to be exceptionally careful about what goes on in your private life. Now I want to be a journalist, so I'm not going to sit here and slag them off for taking pictures of these 'celebrities' when they get into states, as far as I'm concerned, the 'celebrities' are the ones to blame. Journalists were around in the days of Black Sabbath when Ozzy Osbourne was taking HORRENDUS amounts of drugs, yet there wasn't the whole hoo hah that there is these days. In the 70's and 80's, it almost went without saying that rock stars would be drug users. They just didn't wander around the streets with injection marks all over them. They kept everything quiet until it needed to come out. Unlike these two...
You didn't think I'd write a blog on drugs and not mention the train wrecks that are Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty did you?
These two musicians, well, I don't need to tell you who they are. I'm pretty sure the entire world knows who these heroin injecting, crack smoking numpties are. They are in the public eye more often than any other 'celebrity' (With the exception of Jordan/Katie Price and her famewhoring, but that's another blog). Pete Doherty left school with a total of 11 GCSE's, 5 of which were A*. He then went on to do A Levels, he received 4 passes, two of which were A grades. He went on to university to study English Literature, but dropped out after the first year. Doherty received a 6 month jail sentence for robbing ex band mate Carl Barat's flat, he only served 2 months. Upon his release, he rejoined The Libertines and sought treatment for his drug addiction. He attended the alternative detox centre Wat Tham Krabok, a temple in Thailand, famous for its rehabilitation program for crack and heroin users, where he was beaten with a bamboo cane and forced to drink foul herbal concoctions to induce vomiting. He left after three days and returned to England. In June 2009, Doherty was arrested in Gloucester and charged with driving dangerously, while drunk, and being in possession of heroin. He was released on a £50,000 bail and after 'guilty' pleas were entered, was asked to return to court on 21 December for sentencing. On this date, Doherty was spared jail but was ordered to pay £2,050 in fines, and was banned from driving for 18 months, despite the court hearing Doherty had 21 previous drug offences and six motoring offences. Following his release from court, he was escorted by officers to the nearest police station and re-arrested for possession of a controlled substance, later revealled to be heroin. The following day, 22 December, it emerged that Doherty could be charged with offences linked to a hit-and-run incident, which left a pedestrian in a critical condition. Doherty's manager, Andrew Boyd, has already appeared in court charged with a number of offences relating to the incident. Whilst Doherty was in Gloucester court on 21 December, heroin fell out of his coat pocket. He was arrested for possession and was convicted for this offence at the same court on 27 January 2010. He was fined £750 and ordered to pay £85 court costs. On 11 March 2010, Lowestoft magistrates fined Doherty £500 and banned him from driving for 12 months for allowing his Daimler car to be used uninsured by his manager.
It makes me wonder... If that was me, or any other member of the public we would have had our licenses revoked indefinitely and would have been made to serve jail time. He put a pedestrian in a CRITICAL CONDITION, yet was spared jail time. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!
In August 2007, Winehouse cancelled a number of shows in the UK and Europe, citing exhaustion and ill health. She was hospitalised during this period for what was reported as an overdose of heroin,ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine and alcohol. Winehouse told a magazine that the drugs were to blame for her hospitalisation and that "I really thought that it was over for me then." Soon after, Winehouse's father commented that when he had made public statements regarding her problems, he was using the media because it seemed the only way to get through to her. The Sun posted a video of a woman, alleged to be Winehouse, apparently smoking crack cocaine and speaking of having taken ecstasy and valium. On 23 January 2008, the video was passed on to the Metropolitan Police, who questioned her on 5 February. To date no charges have been brought.
These two morons are in the public eye. Children and teenagers look up to them yet they continue to wander around the streets of London off their heads on goodness knows what. Just watch this...
