Oh f*k. Prince died.

RIP

Yah, he did so many drugs in the 80's, it really shortened his life. My husband is getting depressed with all these people in our generation dying but lets face it, if we abuse our bodies with drugs, that's what happens Sad

And our generation (the tail end of the babyboomers) really abused drugs badly.

Like my mom always says, Everything in moderation! Please take heed my young ones

But I ditto that sentiment, Rest in peace dear brilliant man.

Drugs generally don't shorten your life. Taking bad care of yourself does. And druggies often do, but rich druggies generally take much better care of themselves then poor ones do. Having a roof over your head and people around you that still care (even if it's only because you're rich) helps a lot.

Please educate yourself before stating such blanket statements. It is the false narrative about drugs in the US that makes it so hard to get proper information through to the kids. If the government lies about say the risks of marihuana why should they believe the tings they say about meth? Truth is important!

Sorry to go offtopic, won't happen again.

That's just as much a blanket statement as the original. Some drugs may not be that bad, but some are most assuredly poisons (meth anyone?). Poisons have a strong tendency to shorten one's life expectancy.

Meth is used as a (legal) prescription drug for ADHD as well.
