    A very long time ago, my neighbor was a dealer. I went over to his place one night and there were 4 Chicago Bears in his living room.

    I won't name names, and they're all long retired.

    That's my story.

    everybody thinks they know where their limit is, and never think they have crossed it yet. meanwhile to the rest of the world its clear they are spiraling out of control. one of my good friends "pockets" has been battling oxy dependency for the last 5 years or so. he goes to jail, gets cleaned up, comes out and starts right back up. goes back to jail, scores it INSIDE jail, comes out even worse, goes right back in. its beyond depressingly sad. hes in jail now for a 6 month bid, and hopefully he hasnt been scoring in jail, and when he gets out hes clean and stays that way....but im not betting on it

    I'm bipolar and without medications, I'd be dead. It's not all bad.

    Magnifier- I'm fascinated that you did it and I'm sorry about your brother.

    I'm not preparing for a role. I'm just curious. I wonder if it's like what my bipolar highs were like.

    If you have an addictive personality, I'd advise you to be careful. (Your drinking habits are a good indicator.) Like most people, I don't have an addictive personality. I tried several drugs a few times each and had the self-control to keep it to a few times each.

    No matter how bad you say it was in your case, I still say: It's not the government's business to jail millions of people over the last 40 years, and keep the population terrified of the government, in order to prevent people from hurting themselves. All drugs should be legal, with ample educational warnings provided.

    For the first hour, after that you're just chasing the original high.

    Hey I'm not putting the drug down. I've seen some people handle it well and have a blast with it. Sorry to hear about your friends and family as well.

    I rarely drink anymore, when I do its just a few beers. I still like smoking the herb though, mainly on weekends. My biggest addiction is lifting weights and schooling folks at 2k12.

    if you were prescribed something that works for you, good for you, stick with it. there are always exceptions. my point is that if you CAN, stay away from them.

    On June 17, Bias was selected by the defending NBA champion Celtics as the second overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft, which was held in New York City at Madison Square Garden. Arnold "Red" Auerbach, as the Boston Celtics President and General Manager, had previously dealt guard Gerald Henderson and cash to the Seattle Supersonics for the pick in 1984. After the draft, Bias and his family returned to their suburban Maryland home.

    On June 18, Bias and his father flew to Boston, Massachusetts, from Washington, D.C., for an NBA Club draft acceptance and product endorsement signing ceremony with the Celtics' coaches and management, as well as with Reebok's Sports-Marketing Division. Bias reportedly signed a $3 million shoe contract with Reebok.

    Later that day, his father left Boston to return to Washington in the late afternoon. There he gave a short press conference for the local Washington media at Washington National Airport. The media was at the airport expecting to interview Bias, so his father stood in, reporting on their "day with the Celtics" and their appreciation of the beginning of a new chapter in his and his son's lives.

    Bias, who returned home later that night, retrieved his newly-leased sports car and drove back to his room on the campus of the University of Maryland.

    However, prior to, and concurrent with, some of the given timelines of his activities at the campus, Bias's vehicle was observed and recorded by undercover agents of the Washington, DC metropolitan police department "cruising" one of the city’s most notorious drug neighborhoods along Montana Avenue, in the northeast section of the city. Although the surveillance did not determine who specifically was in the vehicle, or if the vehicle had stopped for any purpose, they did estimate there were at least two people, driver and passenger, in the vehicle, and they recorded its license number.onto campus at around 11 p.m. and ate crab with some teammates and a member of the football team. He left campus at approximately 2 a.m. on the 19th and drove to an off-campus gathering, which he attended briefly before returning to his dorm in Washington Hall at 3 a.m. Bias took a dose of cocaine which likely induced cardiac arrhythmia.

    At 6:32 a.m., when the 911 call to Prince George's County Emergency Services was made by Brian Tribble (a long-time friend), Bias was unconscious and not breathing. All attempts by the emergency medical team to restart his heart and breathing were unsuccessful. According to the campus timeline, Bias collapsed sometime between 6:25 and 6:32 a.m. while talking with teammate Terry Long. According to Bias's sister, who only had a secondhand account of the story,[citation needed] Bias was sitting on a couch and leaned back as though he were going to sleep, but instead began seizing.

    Bias was unconscious and was not breathing when county ambulance attendants arrived at his dormitory suite at 6:36 a.m.—four minutes after they were called and six minutes before a mobile intensive care unit arrived—and he never regained consciousness nor breathed on his own. At the hospital, Bias was given five drugs in an attempt to revive him: epinephrine, sodium bicarbonate, lidocaine, calcium and bretyline. After the chemicals failed, a pacemaker was implanted into his heart muscle in a failed attempt to try to get it beating.[6]

    Bias was pronounced dead at 8:55 a.m. in the Emergency Department at Leland Memorial Hospital in Riverdale, Maryland, of a cardiac arrhythmia related to usage of cocaine.

    You're right, if you're bipolar, you'd better stick to the straight and narrow. If research were legal, scientists could tell us which prescription drugs can accompany which street drugs safely. Without that information, you'd better just stick to reading about it. There are also other reasons that illegal drugs would be much safer if they were legal (e.g. standardized dosage and strength, no impurities).

    There'd be no drug cartels beheading people, the crime rate would crash, trillions of dollars would be injected into our economy, we could close 3/4th of our prisons and police would actually have to do things like solve murders and protect and serve.

    Don't do coke if you are bipolar. Only start the night, don't end the night with it. You turn into a huge douche
