The autopsy specifically noted needle marks on his arms. Whether the drugs he used/abused were street drugs or prescribed (like the propofol) clearly indicated that he had major issues. It doesn't matter whether it was prescribed or bought off the street. I personally think that he would have benefited from many, many years of psychotherapy and perhaps writing a cathartic tell all "daddy dearest" book.

It was painful to me to look at him. I thought he was an adorable kid and then he disfigured his face with all those plastic surgeries in a vain (no pun intended) to battle inner demons. I look at the before and after pictures and I much prefer the Michael before all the surgeries. I wish that he'd had spent his money on a really good therapist instead of surgery.

He wasn't able to sleep without drugs, he was dependent on them either from their addictive quality or medical issues -- perhaps adrenal fatigue or inability to produce enough melatonin.

The guy you were debating with probably thinks you mean he smokes crack, shoots up heroin, snorts cocaine..etc.

When you say 'drugs" or "drug user".. that's what people think you mean.
