Jackson Addicted to Xanax, Bodyguard Says

1. THis is ridiculous -- even 10 Xanax would kill anyone, or at least put them in a coma. What bollocks.

2. 10 xananx would not kill you if you'd been taking them for a long time. my grandma's been on xanax since the late 80s and she could take 10 in a few hours. it's called TOLERANCE.

love you michael, r.i.p.

3. WHy didn't any of these people report this to the family or police. Now everyone comes out and said they knew all along. They all should be charged with providing prescription drugs and murder. Michael is responsible for himself, i get that, but he would not have walked in toa Walgreens and picke dthem up himself. If everyone said no, he maybe would still be alive.

5. It really depends on the dosage. I am on 1/4 mg. Very light. If I tried, I could probably wolf 30 of them down in a day. Xanax is prescribed up to 4mg (might be 8). Now if he was popping 30 of those a day, yeah he would probably be in very bad shape

9. What is so sad about this is that all the know it alls say NOW that they knew all along... well why didnt they take some responsibility... worried about losing out on the cash cow? well he didnt leave any of you morons any money and now you are out of a job in this economy.... Feel even more better that you never said a thing? Maybe if you had he would still be alive and in REHAB for awhile. But no you all stayed silent.. untill he fell dead and NOW you chose to speak up! You all are just as bad as his money grubbing ex-wife and evil father... this is so sad!!! Poor guy was in the hot light all his life and now even in death.. and Joe is already planning to put Paris and Blanket in show biz.... WHAT AN ASS!!! Michael would not want any of this for his kids as he had NO childhood, and that was inportant to him, for his children to have a childhood!!! I hope everyone responsible for enabling him gets arrested!!!

11. Drug abuse is the workings of Lucifer. Michael was possessed; no amount of intervention by family or police would have saved him. Insanity appears to run in that Jackson family. There is no point of reasoning with MJ fans. There is no point of questioning MJ's doctors and lawyers because they are professional enablers out for the $$$. It is my belief, and I thereon suggest that Michael knew he could run with for several years, but couldn't hide the truth. It was his choice - jail or death. He ordered up so much junk because he knew that he couldn't handle jail. The junkie met his fate.

12. It's actually kind of amazing that he lived as long as he did!

13. Jim, re Xanax dosage:

You are probably right that a quarter dose tablet could be taken more often....I use it for a sleep aid. My doc prescribes in a large dose so that I can halve or quarter it and save a lot of $$ for the Rx. At any rate, I doubt MJ was using the .25 dose, LOL
I also know that my doc is VERY reluctant to renew my Rx unless he sees me in office 2x a year. Just goes to show how unethical some Docs can be when they're star-struck. Can't help feeling like MJ had a LOT of enablers.

14. If this was in the uk all the docs would be arrested by scotland yard and bail refused and would serve at least 10 years for manslaughter and that would be the min tarriff before parole give all the money grabbing docs to the fans and see them get their ass kicked shame on then and shame on the media they should had at least put him in rehab... to late eh?? no more money for those tossers.

15. The body guard, Chris Carter was totally discredited and never took the stand at MJ's trail because he would have been taken apart by the prosecution. Everthing he told the police was a lie including the stuff about the drugs. No body can take that many pills and not be dead. It's a shame because MJ is not here to defend himself.
