Comment: I am shocked at how ignorant and one-sided this article and comments are. I was addicted to perscription pain killers myself, but got cleaned up, and I don't know a single person that considers me a bad person for it. ADDICTION IS A DISEASE. People that have never had the problem can't possibly understand what it's like. It is not a moral failing!! Do we consider people with heart disease immoral? How about people with depression? Where do you draw the line? Oh, that's right, you draw the line when it's someone you don't like.

Comment: I don't think it's very surprising. The guy would have to be seriously full of hatred for himself to say some of the things he says about other people, so of course the guy is eating his heroin pills like a lab rat. You can't really feel bad for the guy, he is too judgmental and opinionated for people to feel any real pity for him. I remember one time when I was in high school, our science teacher gave us this big speech about how he got addicted to oxycontin. A year or two later, he later got arrested for raping a student, child porn and sending pictures of his dick to female students. Great teacher...
