::Keith Richards admitted in an article in
Q magazine that he has been having "just a
taste" of heroin. I can not believe that
Richards would go back to this terrible
drug. Do you all share my grief?
Yes, if he is still doing it, I share your grief. But no, I am not surpised that he admits to still having a taste. Heroin is VERY hard to give up for good if you were at one time a junkie. You will always want it. That's not to say some do stop taking for life, but many more go back. Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, Sid Vicious and Jessie Ed Davis all stop doing H at one time and all ending up dead from it afterwards and that's just a few well know rock stars. Going back on heroin after giving it up happens a lot so I'm not surprised.
: 1st of all don't believe everything......
True, but Keef was the one who said it.
:Even IF he is I know some street punk is not saying to Keith "Hey Keef, inject this into yerself bro" Again IF he is, its some really good stuff that won't make you sick from close people.
If you OD on heroin and die it makes no differance how clean it is. Heroin may give you the best high on earth but it takes only a little to control you and get you hooked or rehooked real fast.
I always feel that what one does to their own body is their own business, as long as you are not hurting others. But I love Keef and hope he really did have just a taste and nothing more.
