According to recent reports, Michael Jackson was spending in excess of $48,000 on a monthly basis on prescription drugs, especially Diprivan and Demerol.
This revelation is more than a testimony to reaffirm the fact that the relationship between steroids and celebrities is still going on strong despite repeated assurances and claims from the government that steroid use is at its lowest now and stringent measures have already been formulated and deployed to curb the use of steroids.
From Merinews.com:
REPORTS HAVE surfaced that pop superstar Michael Jackson was spending as much as 48,000 dollar per month on prescription drugs, including Demerol and Diprivan.
A sidelight of this story is the pharmacy that news reports say filled and delivered many of those orders: Mickey Fine Pharmacy & Grill in Beverly Hills.
Mickey Fine is a pretty snazzy-looking place. It was originally one of those legendary Schwab Pharmacies where starlets were discovered while drinking milkshakes. As recently as March, it was a featured location in the Starz comedy series ‘Head Case‘.
It’s not the kind of place you would normally associate with supplying a prescription drug habit.
Now that MJ has breathed his last, this news about him is bound to create giggles and fears in the celebrity world and possibly will bring a sense of awareness among steroid users who are of the view that steroids are harmless.
It is, however, important to note here that steroids do not bring side effects with them but can prove to be dangerous when abused. A perfect example of this is the untimely death of Jackson, whose case was a pure example of steroid abuse.
If you are using steroids, it is high time for you to understand the pros and cons of steroids else what the fate decided for MJ may be your destiny also. Remember, the only thing that can help you is nothing but qualified awareness.
