[frosty]

Okay so what are the most famous powder heads in history?...I know of a
couple...Stephen King who self admits to not being able to remember
writting 10 novels from the late 70's to mid 80's 10 whole freaking
novels.....his novels are always at least 400 pages long...SWIM wants
what he was getting.....Then of course there was Siegmund Freud....

[Zach Swan]

That will be a very long list since powder and celebrity go together like priests and choirboys.

Couldn't begin to list all the celebs who've admitted to doing blow (R. Williams, R. DeNiro, J. Nicholson, ...) but I suspect the following great quote from Sean Penn may suggest he also has a propensity for partying with peruvian:

"...If you want entertainment, get a couple hookers and an eight-ball" - attributed to Sean Penn

Then I suppose there is your current president (allegedly.) I guess he's pretty famous.

Jack Nickolson

John Belushi

Robin Williams

Jessica Savage

Stacey Keach

David Crosby

This may not be exactly what you intended, but...

Article scares the crap out of me, the guy's about my age. Except that I don't mix sports, steroids & cola -- horrible combination if you ask me. Wonder how many times that guy went to practice right after a long night of partying, or even while still high.

P.S. add the famous screenwriter Oliver Stone to the list. Apparently cola was something of an inspiration to his screenplay for "Scarface" (no surprise there)... in the DVD interview he claims writing it helped get the desire to use cola out of his system.

While making Heaven and Earth Oliver Stone adopted the Buddhist faith he had explored as a soldier in Vietnam, yet his religion does not appear to have brought him peace. An affair and divorce from his second wife, Elizabeth, followed. In 1999 he was arrested for drunken driving and possession of hashish; Stone had spent time in a Mexican jail aged 21 for possession of marijuana, and quit cocaine while writing Scarface. The need to live life fast, on the edge and take risks remains.

robert downy jr....

dennis leary, idk theres a million


i think theres a site somewhere that has a big list of all of them along with there stories about it...i'll lookfor a link later maybe

[PureGlass]

I can't believe no one's yet to mention the master of the yayo: Keith
Richards. Tons of musicians, especially blues musicians, were also into
cola - stevie ray vaughn and eric clapton to name a few.

[Nature Boy]

Oliver Stone was big into it in the 80s.

Most 80s pro wrestlers did coke too.

The Grateful Dead were into coke, like most other things. Casey Jones Edited by: nature_boy_liam

[blahbla]

Lindsay Lohan didn't drop 20 lbs in a week with exercise...

Rick James

There was a bad period in my life some years ago when I got into a serious cocaine habit; $10,000 to $15,000 a week,

Sounds like alot of coke to me.

I was gonna say... if he managed to *maintain* that habit for any length of time ($60k/month) he'd be rich enough so it couldn't have been all THAT bad...

Hell, how bad could it be if you could afford a personal physician standing next to you at all times with a defibrillator & tray of anti-O.D. meds ready...

[motorhead]

lol ya i read somewhere that it was around 400k/year he was going through. I imagine it got bad in the end. Man he must have been so wired and paranoid after piping up so hardcore for so long. He and a girlfriend held some chic hostage for a few days, which landed him in the clink. He died recently, not very old either.

[blackbastard]

what about DeLorean? he was a fucking mad cokehead! he did something like $14m of powder of company money while working for pontiac

[Sick Jack]

Stephen King, the writer. I read a quote where he was saying that he did so much coke during some periods, that he simply didn't remember the writing of some of his books....

[Beltane]

These people who did so much powder, do you think most of them stuck w/
snorting it? Or did some switch to shooting? SWIM did what he
considers to be a moderate amount (no more than a gram a day average,) and probably less) for 3 months and got a hole in my nose. And
that was pretty pure coke. I can't imagine how hard snorting the
amounts that are being referred to here would be on your nose. .

Frum this personal experinceam SWIM has determine that key to preventing nose problems is to frequently tak substantial beaks; say at least a week. SWIMS provcle. was the during this time he was usong alnost every dat.

An for famous users, anyine get Freud?

You got a hole in your nose in three months from that amount of
usage?...I've been averaging at least 7grams a week since december and
mine is fine.....Have you snorted other things in the past?

Yes, excellent question and something I origianally considered and then
dismissed. I snorted meth about daily, and way, way too much of
it for about one calendar year. Thing is, my nose never gave me
any trouble whatsoever, and when I started the C run that I credit w/
fucking up my nose I'd been off of meth for maybe 7 years.



Think that might have contributed? In my reading I came to the
conclusion that any nose damage that wasn't obviously permanant, like a
hole, would fix itself given time. And 7 years is a long time.



Thanks-

VIPs shamed on cocaine
SPECIAL INSIGHT REPORT
By Keith Moor
22 Aug 2005

ONE of Australia's most prolific cocaine dealers has given police the names of his celebrity customers. He provided Victoria Police with taped evidence implicating music, sport and TV stars.

The dealer identified the celebrities -- who are household names -- before being convicted of serious drug offences in 2003.

He is now a police informer and is expected to give evidence in at least one major drug case.

Among those named by the supergrass as regular customers were:

ONE of Australia's biggest rock performers.

A LEADING female actor who spent years starring in one of Australia's longest-running television dramas.

A PROMINENT retired AFL player connected to a male actor who recently turned up at a cocaine dealer's house in Docklands during a police raid.

ONE of Melbourne's female media stars.

SEVERAL leading Victorian barristers.

Police considered investigating the celebrities further to try to corroborate the dealer's claims, but decided against singling them out.

Force priority is to chase drug dealers, not users, even if those alleged users are high-profile.

The supergrass told Victoria Police he handled drugs worth $30 million in the late 1990s and 2000.

He claimed he obtained huge amounts of cocaine from the Australia-wide drug syndicate run by underworld feud victims Lewis Moran, his son Jason, and stepson Mark.

The supergrass told police his cocaine clients included top models, entertainers, and other members of Melbourne's A-list.

The head of the Victoria Police major drug investigation division, Acting Det-Supt Bob Hill, confirmed investigations had identified cocaine use in many high-profile industries.

"Cocaine is essentially the drug that's associated with the rich and famous," he said.

Acting Supt Hill said celebrity drug users were treated no differently.

"The MDID conducts high-level investigations into large-scale illicit drug distribution," he said.

"Our focus is directed towards drug dealers, not charging users.

"We don't necessarily charge everyone who is associated with a drug trafficking enterprise.

"There might be people interviewed who provide intelligence or become witnesses for the prosecution.

"We don't differentiate between whether you are a rock star, television identity or a plumber."

A Herald Sun Insight investigation has found:

AN ITALIAN organised crime gang with global links shipped 434kg of cocaine worth $152 million to Australia in 2001 and last year attempted to smuggle a further 300kg into Melbourne.

AUSTRALIAN crime gangs have established direct links with Colombian cartels to ensure ready access to top-quality cocaine.

WEST African organised crime gangs are using the post to get large numbers of cocaine-filled letters and parcels into Australia.

POLICE intelligence suggests Israeli and Russian crime gangs are expanding networks to increasingly include Melbourne and Sydney.

INTERNATIONAL drug gangs are recruiting couriers from non-suspect countries to smuggle cocaine to Australia by air.

AUSTRALIAN Federal Police figures reveal a 50 per cent increase in cocaine seizures in Australia in the past year.

EIGHTY per cent of AFP cocaine seizures came through the post.

There was a 95 per cent increase in cocaine seizures in Victoria between 2002-03 and 2003-04. The weight of cocaine seized jumped 260 per cent in the 12 months to June 2004, and arrests more than doubled in 2003-04 on the previous year's.

Undercover drug police are spending more time at Melbourne nightclubs.

A recent Australian Crime Commission report said most cocaine users' lack of a criminal profile made it difficult to determine the size of the local market.

Hitler was prescribed cocaine drops for his eyes by his doctors when he was holed up in his Berlin bunker when the Russians were closing in.

Does that count?
