Mornin Russ!

Dan, although he did have a host of problems and did sing about some of that stuff there are a few things that don't quite fit together nicely. For instance, probably one of the biggest things, he had 3 times the lethal dose of H in his system when he died which would have made it near impossible to put his needle back in its kit or what came next.

yeah, but he was an addict, so 3 times as much for you or me would put us out, but for someone who uses all the time it's not that big of a deal. i'm sure as much as he used he already had some in his system. Lane Staley ( Alice in Chains) was a fuctioning addict. He tried to stop and his system started shutting down

Dan, can an addict really function at 3 times the lethal dose? I suppose it is possible to build up a tolerance but that just seems beyond the limit for anyone.

I'm not buying any bikes unless it is a CVO Sportster.
