I surprised when I found out that Billy Mays died a month ago, but I was shocked when I read an article today that stated cocaine contributed to his death. They are speculating that the cocaine use is part of the reason why he was so animated in his commercials but his family refuses to believe he had a drug problem; I think most families would. Apparently, he abused cocaine as well as other non-prescription drugs which contributed to the heart disease he had. It’s a sad story when you think about…just another human that has fallen victim to the drug scene. I don’t get it. I’ve never touched a drug in my life. Never smoked pot. Never been high. If you want to count drinking alcohol then okay, I’ve “touched” a drug but I’m talking about illegal drugs, hard drugs, drugs that aren’t given to you by a doctor. And even then, those drugs prescribed to me by a doctor if I ever get any prescriptions, have never been abused and those drugs you can by over the counter at your local Wal-Mart are taken as the directions state. I hate taking medication so I couldn’t imagine filling my body with something even harder like cocaine. Hell, I can’t even muster up enough courage to try diet pills because I know what they are filled with – stimulating substances that my body would have an overwhelming reaction too which would cause me to feel like I’m going crazy and then crash when I’m not taking them. No thanks, you can keep your drugs.
