      This is a pamphlet that the police of my city, Hyderabad, in India published to spread awareness on the dangers of drug abuse, and in a section that highlighted lives destroyed by drugs, they used Michael Jackson.

      Even two decades after his death his life is still being used to teach lessons to youth in a country thousands of miles from where he lived and died.

      They also used “effected” wrong. It should be “affected”.

      Unless they mean these folks were conceived under the influence, lol

    3. Michael was constantly in pain after his hair was set on fire during a Pepsi ad, and he quickly got addicted to painkillers. The sleeping drugs came later, due to his grueling “This Is It” tour schedule. I don’t blame him.

      Anything that makes you feel alright about doing the shit MJ was doing is definitely a powerful drug. What a monster!

    5. Copied both of them word for word from Wikipedia. Didn’t even bother to remove the hyperlink from the words “test”, “wickets” and “record”. This is a cautionary tale indeed but for something else entirely.

    6. Ah yes, because Propofol is such common drug of abuse which totally is not known to induce deep unconsciousness. And definitely prohibited substance umbrella tells in a great way about danger of drugs.

    7. Lol you don’t really find propofol on the streets 😂 if you wanna get anesthetics and die from suffocation fentanyl is your way to go. It’s much cheaper!

    8. At least they mentioned Warnie’s stats.

      That will get the attention of Indian kids more than Michael Jackson.

      But the banned substance to early death link seems non-causative and tenuous.

    9. Well technically he did, but it’s not like he was trying to get a buzz, he was so tortured by his own mind that he needed to be anesthetized just to get to sleep. The idea of that has always deeply disturbed me, at least he is at peace now, and if karma exists his dad will spend an eternity suffering for what he did.
