Fame to addiction: A Journey not to be followed!
Why do we get addicted to drugs?
We often tend to do things regularly that make us happy and feel rejuvenated. But what if we get prone to the habit of drugs? Before answering this question, another question that pops up is Why do people make drugs a part of their daily schedule? Addiction is also called a biopsychosocial disorder, usually caused by drugs or alcohol. Like children like to have more chocolates as they eat them one by one, similarly, drugs often excite the human brain, and we crave them more. Now, answering the first question, as it is said there are always two sides of a coin (positive and negative), but here the negative side is predominantly heavier than the positive side, and there are absolute reasons behind it.
Celebrities’ addiction to drugs
Celebrities have their life full of fame, stardom, thrill, but if we look at the kernel of their lives, the presence of stress, peer pressure, and unhealthy relationships which are part of them. And here comes the evil part, ‘drugs’. Many celebrities have strong work ethics, and they are highly success-driven person, so to cope with all those difficulties they are facing, they opt to consume drugs, and from then there is no looking behind to it. Celebrity substance abuse is increasing day by day among singers, actors, politicians, social media celebrities, and many more.
From Lady Gaga to Robert Downey Jr., from Michael Jackson to Stephen King, all these famous personalities have been addicted to drugs, and they have publicly confessed that there is a lot more to deal with than just an addiction.
How do drugs become life-threatening from one stage?
There is a dangerous attraction of the drug to celebrities. They need to be publicly “on” and “off” very frequently, also showcase their confidence, to cope with the pressure as their money is at stake, and also loneliness. So to deal with all these, they start taking drugs and become vulnerable. Some untimely deaths of famous personalities who were victims of drug addiction are:
1) Mac Miller (Rapper):- Flying high from success as his new song “The Way” had just debuted at #3 on the Billboard album charts, the musician was found unresponsive in his Studio City home and was confirmed dead within some time. Doctors suspected an overdose of cocaine, fentanyl, and ethanol in his body, and he died due to a mixture of drug toxic elements.
2) Jarad Higgins, AKA Juice WRLD:- The 21-year-old artist, who rapped about drug abuse, went into convulsions during the raid at Midway airport, Chicago. The rapper died due to an excessive amount of oxycodone and codeine toxicity.
3) Arthur William Bell III, AKA Art Bell: The founder and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program ‘Coast to Coast AM’, was found dead at his home. An autopsy revealed that Bell died due to an overdose of a cocktail of prescription drugs.
He often took the opioids oxycodone and some muscle relaxant medications.
4) Tom Petty: The singer had been taking several medications, which included Fentanyl and oxycodone, to treat a fractured hip and other issues. The mixture of drug toxicity caused multiple organ failure and ultimately led to cardiopulmonary arrest.
5) Gustav Ahr, AKA Lil Peep: The rapper died of an overdose of Fentanyl and Xanax. Reports suggested that other drugs like marijuana and cocaine were also found in his system.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are numerous other instances where famous personalities often tend to overdo drugs and become victims.
