Opiates destroy lives famous or not.

Opiates destroy lives famous or not.

Very true.

But the famous people make the news media, the common people do not.

Oxys, heroin, fentanyl, etc is a major killer, don't ever try that ****. I still don't know why people even try that ****, rich or not, and I've been around it. People gotta understand that trying that will alter your life

The first supermodel, Gia Marie Carangi

she died of aids, as a supermodel, it is entirely possible she got it ***ually.

I was just about to say that. In the movie it depicts that she got it from a dirty needle but she could of easily got it ***ually.

No.

It's rarely passed from woman to woman, especially at that time when very few women had the HIV virus and it was far from being a widespread disease except for gays and intravenous drug users (she was actually the first famous woman to die of AIDs).

She injected with needles a lot, and at that time people shared needles more than today.

you say "No." so matter of factly and then go onto explain that you don't and can't know for sure.

She died of aids, while many people like to exploit her so they can teach lessons about drug abuse, we cannot know how she contracted aids for sure.


Though to note, a dirty needle is not the only drug related way, she could have also whored herself out for drugs and contracted it that way.

Not impossible, that would mean her death was indirectly a result of her drug addiction.
