I had a very close friend die from heroin back in the 90’s…he kicked drugs for a few years and then got back on it…he was apparently partying with some people and he did to much…these pieces of shit took him to his house and just left him in his front yard…his wife found him there…he left 3 kids behind…I never felt anger…just sadness and a lot of empathy for his kids and his brother who was absolutely heartbroken and devastated…
It’s an ugly drug but it’s not always as easy as just “stopping”…I feel for anyone going through that type of addiction…

It’s senseless to me. I understand that there’s a path people are on that gets them there, but… Ugh. Frustrating. Sorry to read that; it’s a crummy story to have in your pocket. I was in shock and then devastated by my friend, until the funeral. Then my mind kept racing around wondering who else knew about what he was doing. Fairly or not, I stopped talking to most of that group of friends afterwards.

Yeah,I’m sorry to hear about your experience as well…and I can relate as I disassociated myself from that group of friends as well…and I can certainly understand that sense of frustration…
Man, what a bunch of dicks on here! More like “I’m hoping to come off as a dick because i love Al Jougensen and want to impress other douchebags on Prongs”. It’s fucking sad when ANYONE dies of an addiction. Clean for 20 years, now this. Have you read anything about his past? Who the hell says “Well, i’ll put this drug in me that’s going to fuck my life up forever”.
Well, anyways, RIP Mr. Hoffman.
I’ve kinda didn’t know the guy, he was one of those familiar faces though. And now that he’s gone, his accomplishments are really put out there, I had no clue he was held to such high esteem in the acting world. Guess that just shows i have shit taste in movies. Messed up way to go out though, he was clean, and he gambled with the H.
