Michael Jackson blew $50k a month on drugs

I know you are probably sick of Michael Jackson news by now, but when it comes to rock star excess this record will be hard to top.

Pop legend Michael Jackson was battling with numerous disorders and was spending 30,000 pounds (50,000 dollars) a month on prescription drugs like narcotic pain relievers, muscle relaxants and anti-depressants before his death.
The ailing "Thriller" star, who died last week, was said to have consumed "mountains of medication" as he battled numerous disorders in the year leading up to his death, reported thesun.co.uk.
Along with narcotic pain reliever Vicodin, 50-year-old Jackson gorged on other drugs like muscle relaxant Soma and sedative Xanax, antidepressant Zoloft, anti-anxiety drug Paxil and heartburn pill Priolosec.
The revelations on the true scale of the tragic star's pills habit came as his family said they now wanted an investigation into the quantity of drugs he was prescribed.

true MJ did a lot of drugs, and I'm sure it was nothing to him.

I imagine he smoked weed and tripped when he was 8, but his Dad caught him smoking and beat the shit out of him.

Then during his Off the Wall era he was coked out to the max, but fucked his nose and voice up...

so he went to pills, pills, pills, and "jesus juice".

plus he loved his estrogen pills... gotta hit those high notes-at ALL costs.

I imagine he took a lot of acid, X, and speed(aderall) too. We wouldn't know the details cause he's the biggest closet freak on the planet. He'd never want us to know his secrets.

In that Martin Bashir MJ special I saw a painting of MJ that was a tall wall painting of MJ in a garden(Eden?) naked, it looked like he was holding onto a caduceus, and there were angels around him, and Amanita mushrooms on the ground! No joke!

He had some very big pupils especially in the last decade.
Nightshade drops? Acid? pills?

Eight years ago when Napster was still free I took 5 hits of L, and downloaded and listened to MJ for 12 hours straight. I ended up on the ground crying for the guy's life.
I seriously hope MJ is resting in peace because he was a severely traumatized dude-he did stick it to his dad in the end with his will. I bet his Dad is the one who got him on coke.

He blew 50K on drugs?

Well, if you're Michael Jackson, perhaps that needs to be considered drug use, not abuse. Perhaps the headline should say, less pejoratively, "...spent $50K..." :)

One man's excess is another man's garden party, and I, for one, have no idea what it was like bing Michael Jackson...
