JW, only Janis died of a overdose. Jimi, well, there are conflicting stories, but the word on the inquest was inhalation of vomit. The story goes that he took sleeping pills as he always did and the wine he had interacted with it. There is a lot more to that story that we will never know (like enough wine in his airway to drown him). Jim Morrision too is a mystery. Those of us that grew up in the 70′s and 80′s swore that he was alive and not in his grave. Even at least one member of the Doors thought that they would see Jim again. It really gets me when people state that Jimi died of heroin overdose because there is never any evidence that Jimi even tried this drug. (Even though some was found crossing from Canada, however he beat the charges as someone packed his bag.)

It’s a little disheartening when people judge other’s from a point of no personal experience. People dont’t just get up one day and say “Hey, today I think I will throw my whole away on drugs.” Addiction doesn’t happen overnight and it is not treated overnight. Drug use is often a coping mechanism as people want someway to escape the pain. Continual use and abuse of chemicals and denial of reality, does change one’s brain chemistry. That’s why it is referred to as a disease. Neither, is that term a cop out. When I was younger, I thought just like you, until I had my own pivotal trials and tribulations. One thing I learned, is that you can live your whole life thinking you would react in a certain way under certain circumstances, but you NEVER really know what you will do until the circumstance arrives. You never know what people are really going thru and there are functioning addicts all around you: doctors, lawyers, surgeons, police officers, etc. Perhaps your thinking hasn’t yet evolved. If you really want to try to understand, try to understand it instead of simply rejecting it. Google it and read.

When I was 18, I was angry with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, an Jim Morrison for dieing too young from herion addiction. I just don’t get why anyone can throw their lives to this drug an alcohol or meth. I just don’t get it man! Neither do the ones whom are addicts, they are failures at love, an any of relationships cannot withstand these addictions.
