"known for his lifelong use of alcohol and illegal drugs"

I won't go into personal reasons, things that happened to loved ones and my-
self, a beloved friend who talked suicide when they did coke, etc., why I know
you should never give money to organized crime. They're about money no matter
what--extortion, hurting, murdering--and they don't care. They have all the
empathy of a serial killer. It's like they're watching it on TV--they're just
thinking about the money they're coming into. You never give those SOBs money.
You want to feel different or get your dopey damn dumb d**k hard, do it some
other way, but you never give those guys money.

You can hear hours of these things talked about on talk shows and nobody ever
mentions it. It should be mentioned occasionally when I read about problems
exasperated by harder drugs you could only buy from them and things like this
happen.
"Artist-collaborator and friend Ralph Steadman wrote: '... He told me 25 years
ago that he would feel real trapped if he didn't know that he could commit sui-
cide at any moment. I don't know if that is brave or stupid or what, but it was
inevitable.'"
"While suffering a bout of health problems, Thompson committed suicide at the
age of 67." "...resulting from his many painful and chronic medical conditions,
which included a hip replacement."
His loved ones still loved him and accepted it, everything considered, but had
no idea he was going to do it when it happened let alone did he ask for their
blessing to do it at the time. He and HST did it off away from everyone--one of
the ways a court decides if someone knew right from wrong when they did some-
thing.
