If, and I mean if, the recent leaked toxicology reports are true, it means that Michael was trying to get a good nights sleep and suffering from stress. That is not being a drug addict. Michael was not snorting coke in a bathroom or shooting up heroin, he was trying to get a good nights sleep and trying to keep calm. Both of which are quite common complaints for many people at some time in their lives.
I've had periods on sleeping tablets before, would any of you call me a drug addict for that?
you need to go back in and change the title of your post to:
"did michael let us down by seeking professional medical advice?
people have the misconception that heroin and cocaine and other illicit drugs are the most abused and used on the planet but its actually prescription drugs. partly because they are pushed by the drug companies and also by complicit doctors.
My Mum was anti taking any tablets, even aspirin. Even when she was dying of cancer she didn't like taking her pills. However many years ago she was ill in hospital and was given something like codiene. She told me that she fianlly understood why people took drugs because of the effects she felt.
I don't think Michael would have gone out and purposefully taken drugs (I mean he was at Studio 54 so was surrounded by it at least one time in his life). However because of the Pepsi accident he had to take prescription drugs and once you know what it is like to take drugs like that and experience how they make you feel, it opens a door that can never close.
We know Michael was a private person who embarrasses easily, can you just imagne what that trial was like. His entire life laid bare and judged by others. So if he took some Xanax to help with the aftermath of that experience, so be it.

Do you know all this is fact? Have you seen the evidence? Do you have first hand knowledge of everything you stated in your post? Are you a law enforcement official or family member with direct knowledge of these things? Or, do you simply believe everything the tabloids and media have been pounding into our heads, in our faces, over the last decade, regarding Michael Jackson, in their bid to make money off him, his name, his image, the "inside secrets" of him and his life? I hope you too have a book coming out to share with his fans, with the world, of all the secrets, the facts, information of his private life, and to tell us who the real man Michael Jackson was, based on your eye witness accounts and not based on what the tabloids and media have told us?
Jane dear, I saw the interview on television with the nurse Cheryl Lee. She said that she told MJ many times that he can't have Diprovan. This was not something I read about in a tabloid. It was on a television show. And I tend to believe this nurse. Now if you choose not to believe when the nurse got on television and in her own words, told MJ that she was not going to supply him with that drug, that's your problem.
I just wanted to add. To those who claim to have gotten the wrong prescription, who was stopping you from discarding this "extra medicine" from your medicine cabinets? I mean, really. You guys are grasping at straws trying to justify just how many drugs were found in the house...
I'd rename this thread to "Did MJ let you down with seeking medical advice, and then not going by that medical advice?"
I keep medicines for years and don't chuck them out. Doesn't make a drug addict.

Your medicines are all expired...I'd get them discarded if I were you...and it is very very very dangerous to have old medicines around, if you have kids or expect any visits from people with children.
My point was, I keep them for a time. Just because I only spring clean the medicine cupboard every few years does not make me a drug addict.
You should spring clean more than every few years. What about the children that may visit your home? You have those drugs around, you could potentially be charged with reckless endangerment. Which brings up another question from me - are they going to charge whoever supplied and stored those drugs with reckless endangerment of minors? Cause Michaels children are all minors...??? Especially Blanket. He's only 5!! Surely some who were in charge there could have thought just a bit about how and when the children could have accessed those drugs!!
