Let's get something straight. An addict is an addict. there is no such thing as a heriod addict or a coke addict or a food addict or a sex addict. There is just addict. Different addicts tend to prefer differ drugs or ways of getting off but most will use whatever you put in front of us. At some point, many of us believe that if we avoid the specific drug that got us into trouble we will OK not realizing it is a lie.
SO, just because he died from a coke OD does not mean he was not also herion, or that he was using my herion. My experience, there are some differences between folks who like uppers and folks who like downers. Shannon's music certainly did not seem like the result of a coke or meth bindge.
The thing that amazes me about so many of the songs is the way they describe addiction and trying to get clean and depression and trying to get well.
That is one of the things that breaks my heart about his death. he really seemed to want to be well, in his lyrics at least. I wish he could have found his way home to recovery from active addiction.
