In a month leading up to his March 10 death, Corey Haim illegally obtained a massive amount of prescription drugs by "shopping doctors," using fraudulent prescriptions, an alias and giving several medical excuses, the California attorney general said in a press conference Tuesday. In a 32-day period ending just five days before he collapsed in his mother's L.A. apartment, Haim possessed at least 149 tablets of Vicodin, 195 tablets of Valium, 15 tablets of Xanax and 194 tablets of Soma, according to Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr., who called Haim the poster child of prescription drug abuse.

*This is close to the amount that was found near the body of Brian Epstein when he died, IIRC!

It's sad when someone's sole reason for existence is boiled down to getting drugs, That stuff can have a devastating grip on someone's life. I knew someone in college who we watched go down hill over the course of our freshman year because of WAY too much alcohol on an almost daily basis. He kept getting in fights, was arrested a few times and I'm sure he didn't make it to class too often. Eventually his parents came and picked him up one day and we never heard from him again. I hope he got some help and is doing ok.

I hope you've found peace Corey, addiction is a horrible way to live.
