I was just reading about SC’s problem with the increase of fentanyl mixed with other synthetic illicit drugs. *here’s my take: if AM admitted to Oxy addiction, I think he was probably using something much stronger. It’s even possible, his drug of choice was the fentanyl laced drugs. I wonder how close he ever came to overdosing. If he was worried about it, LE should find a can of Narcan readily available to him somewhere in his place. The effects of withdrawal wouldn’t have affected him much in just one day. It’s that third or fourth day that’s the killer when you think you’re dying or want to.
I agree. I'm not at all generalizing "the whole south" (or lawyers), but almost every single lawyer I know from back home uses (or used to use) copious amounts of cocaine. When I lived in New Orleans, it was just known, that, for some reason, lawyers love coke when they party. I've known a handful of lawyers who have had to go to rehab. Another handful I know lost their jobs, and some their profession. I don't know, maybe I was just always really bad at picking my lawyer friends, but it's an ongoing joke with the ones I know from Ms/La.
If Alex is already up and at 'em after a week of rehab for Oxy, then painkillers were probably not his main drug of choice. It takes far more than a week before you can even move, especially after 20 years of abuse. Then, the mental anguish you feel once that painkiller wears off, lasts months, if not years. It sets you back a WHILE. It's bad. Trust me. I do hope he is being cared for, because this will be the worst experience ever. Well, besides losing his wife and kid to murder, but ???
If he was on a drug like cocaine, maybe he's got some "upper class" (or powerful) dealers he doesn't want to involve in his mess, and it's easier (and wiser) to blame a hillbilly heroin dealer. I imagine most politicians don't use just any Joe Blow off the street to deal them their drugs.
Looking forward to hearing what Eddie has to say.
