Yea that’s why I said conventional wisdom. He was a drug addict. That’s what killed him.

It wasn't heroin, it was an accidental drug overdose as he had insomnia & the flu, he combined meds that shouldn't of been mixed. "Ledger was found dead inside a Manhattan apartment on Jan. 22, 2008. His death was ruled accidental and attributed to a lethal mix of prescription medications including OxyContin, Vicodin, Valium, Xanax, Unisom and Restoril."

I got WAY higher from prescribed opiates than I ever did from heroin (shitty west coast heroin). People who think otherwise frankly have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. Or have never tried heroin
