Kurt Cobain Od'd On Heroin Before Committing Suicide, But He Also Od'd On Fame. Cobain Was Like Basquiat: They Both Wanted To Be Famous, And Were Brilliant Enough To Make It Happen. But Then What? Drug Addicts Kill Themselves Trying To Get That Feeling They Got From Their First High, Looking For An Experience They'll Never Get Again. In His Suicide Note, Cobain Asked Himself, "why Don't You Just Enjoy It?" And Then Answered, "i Don't Know!" It's Amazing How Much Of A Mindfuck Success Can Be.

It Only Takes A Short Time In The Streets To Realize That Out-of-control Addiction Is A Medical Problem, Not A Form Of Recreational Or Criminal Behavior. And The More Society Treats Drug Addiction As A Crime, The More Money Drug Dealers Will Make "relieving" The Suffering Of The Addicts.
