Actor Corey Haim dead at 38

fuck you man, not everybody has an easy life. you don't know what was going on in his world, so shut your mouth and quit making assumptions.

i have no sympathy for addicts. whats goin on in his life? because its that much worse than the rest of the worlds? he couldn't handle life, at least now he's not burdening the rest of society by wasting space

Well, I guess that's where you and I must differ. I feel sympathy for anyone in pain and this guy was obviously in a lot of pain. God, it's written all over his face. I hope he finds the peace now that he never seemed to find in life.

And, yes, Lost Boys is a classic.

i agree with you 100% except for the greenhouse "fact" buttt, wtf does this have to do with this story? ahaha,

i agree, Cory Haim should have just smoked weed and stayed away from pills and the skull and bones members of the 80's Hollywood district.

The other one has been clean for a while, I mean look at the picture above you can definitely tell the differance.

hahahahahahah "Yes, how can we forge... what were we talking about again?"

*ba dum chk*

Wow, I forgot that movie. Lol. May have to watch it.

jerk

haha nice.

lol

Sorry, lifestudent. I searched for 'Corey Haim' via the box at the top right before posting mine but it didn't do a good job of finding anything and I was keen to get the story on the UK homepage as soon as possible. Thanks for adding yours as soon as you heard the news.

Happens to us all..

Users no longer matter on this.

No worries. I think we may have posted around the same time.

A human being died.

But damn, he did look horrible towards the end.

Agreed... he was a very good actor when he was young. Lucas was great character.

He was great in that role.

Thats all it takes is pills.

Guess you didn't read the WHOLE story. This was PRESCRIPTION drugs, not illegal ones. You know, the one's you take for your "issues"?

To bad you couldn't rant about how marijuana rots your brain, huh?

To be fair lifestudent, what difference does the legality make? Drugs are drugs. The only real difference is that the government and pharmaceutical companies only profits from the legal ones - and so many celebrities have proved from their graves, Prescription ones are no better, they are certainly no safer and are clearly used more so than recreational drugs. All drugs taken by users are for one issue or another. Don't be fooled into the gross misconception that Prescription Drug overdoses are any different to Illegal Drug overdoses - the use is just the same.

Actually, that's my point. GnL demonizes illegal drugs all the time, especially marijuana, an "illegal drug" that never killed anyone.

I was being facetious for the most part, but I wasn't too clear on that. Sorry about any confusion.

Personally, I would rather take cannabis than most prescription drugs out there right now. It's safer by far.

I see I see! and totally agree. A spliff any day of the week is (for me) far less scary than the dangerous addictive nature of prescription drugs. Companies like GnL have just taken a piece of the action from the traditional drugs barons. At least we knew exactly where we were with them. Big Pharma = Evil darkness; just check the trail of bodies they've left behind in this year alone.

Well, GnL= GodsnLiberals.
But other than that, you hit the mark.

Ok, I haven't smoke anything anymore for nearly a year. I stopped smoking cigarettes four years ago. I recently quit drinking, and I still don't see your point. So that kills your ad-homniem attack right there.

He was killed by prescription drugs. Period. End of story. Stop trying to blame illegal drugs for big pharma's screw ups. Prescription drugs have killed more people than cannabis ever will.

The problem is people think since prescription drugs are legal, then it safer to use them. It's not, not even by a long-shot. The funny thing is that you're using the "gateway drug" propaganda crap everyone else anti-drug uses and has been dis-proven over and over and over again.

Tell you what: Go buy an ounce of weed and smoke it. Not all at once, though. See if you want to try crack after that. I guarantee you all you'll want to do is sit down in front of a TV and eat a cheeseburger. That's about how harmless it is.

It's not my fault you don't like it because it's not "Rush's Pill-Popper" special.

Enlighten me on how you smoke too much weed? And that this action indefinitely "fucks up your life"?

BTW, alcohol is a drug too, and people use it to escape reality with deadly results. Caffeine's a drug too. Hope you don't drink alcohol or coffee.

Face it, whether consciously or not, we all take drugs and possibly do it several times a day. Are you going to ban every drug or just the ones you don't like?

dude!! read how you defend this "drug use"..this train wreck we call corey haim is not an accident ..this is a compilation of fuck ups from day one...may it from cough medicine or smoking crack or casually smoking weed...its the denial thing..like one drug is less harmfull..

DRUGS MAKES YOU INCAPABLE TO MAKE SOUND DECISIONS in life..

several types of drugs got this poor bastard...it did not happen just one night..it took years and years.IT SLOWLY KILLS YOU..

COMPREHEND THAT..not just read..BUT COMPREHEND what i just told you..

this is not an isolated incident nor a unique one..big pharma or whatever you want to attach your addicition to is not the only one to blame..ITS MORONS WHO TRIES TO FIND EVERY EXCUSE to justify his or her drug use

how much weed to smoke??????????? how about DONT SMOKE WEED??

or do you need it to function???????????????????? are you that weak minded??????????

and that goes for alcohol or twinkie or whatever.,,,,ITS AN ADDICTION

If drugs make you incapable of making sound decisions in life, stay away from the coffee, the booze, the cough medicine, the asprin, and anything from the medicinal shelf or your doctor. News flash genius, THEY'RE ALL DRUGS!

You're making drugs the demon in this situation, but not every drug is evil.
Comprehend what I'M SAYING every once in a while.

Did you not READ THE ABOVE POST? I DON'T SMOKE WEED ANYMORE. I haven't TOUCHED IT IN NEARLY A YEAR. Drug test me, guess what's going to happen? I'll pass.

And you know what? I don't feel like I HAVE TO SMOKE WEED. Never did. I didn't get sick and steal for weed money, or perform sexual acts because of a need to get high. Because there WAS NO ADDICTION. You haven't even TRIED any drugs, yet you talk as if you're an expert. YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE. Keep pushing your "Reefer Madness"; only a handful of you propaganda-controlled puppets left anyway.

hahaaahaha you stopped because you are goign to be drug tested..NOT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO STOP..

anyways..good luck with your life..and I am sure one day you will the president of this great country..HAHAHAH

what does the word "ABUSE" mean to you???????????????

of course they are all drugs ..the issue here is morons who ABUSE...ABUSE ABUSE ABUSE..

anything is dangerious if you abuse it ..ABUSE..

it means you are biased when it comes to weed...

And you still fail. I stopped because I was looking for work, and did not want to fail a drug test. I continue not to smoke not out of fearing a drug test but by personal preference. The fact you think I quit simply because I was "going to be tested" is a base assumption on your part.

What you don't want to admit is that I transcend your notion of addiction, because I quit cold turkey. No rehab, no patches, no 12-step program. If I didn't want to stop, then I WOULDN'T have stopped.

Oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence, because I WILL make something of myself. However, whether or not I smoke or smoked weed will make no difference as to what I will achieve. Good luck doing whatever it is you do besides troll Current.

No, It means I know how to read facts, and factor in my personal experiences.
Since you have no personal experience with cannabis, I wouldn't expect you to understand.

And you also seem to think that "abuse" means "use".
Haim abused prescription drugs. I'm sure he used and abused other drugs as well.

People use cannabis. You demonize them as if they abuse it, as to how you can "abuse" such a non-toxic substance is beyond me.

There is a difference you don't want to comprehend.

well just reading your retort just proved my point..okay..smoke as much weed as you so desire I am sure you will be okay.. (just make sure you dont leech of my tax money somewhere 5-10 years down the road)

your own personal experience....AHHHHH so how old are you ??? vast life experience i imagine.......and pretty good at assumptions too..No i dont expect you to understand till you get to that certain age..I guess..

good luck with that "weed" use......just dont be a welfare leech or kill anybody else..GOOD RIDDANCE i say..

Going to say this CLEARLY, so you understand.
1.) I don't smoke.
2.) I'm getting a BA in Communications. Not a "welfare leech".
3.) I've experienced being high from cannabis. You haven't.
Therefore, I have more experience with the drug.

Sometimes it's not an age thing. However, you seem to think you know everything because you're... old? Senile does not equal expert.

Are you EVER going to stop condemning people, or are you just too dense to understand you are in direct conflict of the written word you are trying to base your condemnations on?

This isn't a story. This is a human being who died. Show some compassion. Be human. This tortured person made bad decisions and is now dead. You win?

you dont smoke BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE A DRUG TEST..reading between the lines here it means you will smoke your ass off as soon as its not needed anymore..

not unless you parents are paying for your "BA in communications",, you are leeching off my tax dollars..(maybe you are not aware of that...)

I seen morons in my life that act like you ..acted like you..and end up being a lame looser who blamed everybody for thier failure..

so if you smoked and stopped..GOOD..make something out of yourself AND STOP PROMOTING DRUG USE..

For 10 months? You're seriously reaching for that one. So I guess I'm waiting for the right moment to "smoke my ass off". I'm not planning on smoking again for a while yet, because of people like you who think I can't do it in my personal time and be successful. So I'll become successful and then do whatever I damn well please.

BTW, I didn't even get drug tested for my job, and still haven't picked up anything to smoke. You fail at assumptions ONCE AGAIN.

I have a JOB and paying taxes as well, so I'm "leeching" off my own tax dollars as well. You also fail to mention that I have to PAY BACK MY STUDENT LOANS, so in reality I'm not leaching off anyone; I'm borrowing the money, hence why it's called a LOAN.
Sorry I didn't have a silver spoon shoved up my ass like you did, or maybe my parents would have paid for school. I come from a working class family, how else am I supposed to pay for classes? You gonna do it? Yeah, I didn't think so.

No, you haven't seen morons that act like me, because I'm not a moron. I got a 4.0 GPA, and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon. I'm getting excellent grades because I'm not a failure as you would believe. You keep on trying to find a box to fit me in an I'll step right out of it every single time. BTW, that "loser who blames everything on everyone else" story sounds familiar... guess it must be personal, huh?

You can believe I'll make something out of myself, but I will NOT stop promoting something I believe in, and whether or not you approve is irrelevant to me. Also, I never promoted drug use, just cannabis use. The only thing I mentioned was cannabis, not drugs at all. Nothing in the world will stop me from advocating cannabis use.

Ha ha! I thought GnL might be some US drug company. Doh!

Who said marijuana will ever be legalised? What are you talking about? You're using an argument we agree upon Against me. Now who is actually failing to connect the dots?

Hear, hear!

LIfestudent...GodsnLiberals is a fucking idiot. Arguing with him is like trying to get in a fistfight with a brick wall.

I love current. I have had more fun reading all of your comments than the story itself, which isn't news. GodsnLiberals, you need to calm down about this. Who cares what people do or don't do with their lives? It's not your job to pass judgement on others. That goes for everyone else here. Here are some quick facts:
1. Alcohol was illegal at one point. The government knew they could make more money that way.
2. Hemp is the best fabric in the world. If we industrialized it, there would be no need to cut down trees.
3. Hemp, and cannabis smoke help to reverse the green house effect.
4. Fourteen states have legalized the use of medical marijuana, with 14 more about to vote on the issue.
5. Cigarettes kill more people than anything else, yet no one seems to mention it.
6. There has never been a single case where weed alone has been the cause of death.
7. Marijuana is a natural herb created by your God. Prescription drugs are a manifestation of man meant to numb the mind.
8. Smoking weed; side effects include: hunger, creativity, humor, and sleep.
9. Every other legal drug (including alcohol and cigarettes); side effects include: cancer, bloody stools, diarrhea, anal leakage, high blood pressure, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, anemia
decreased levels of potassium, decreased levels of sodium, heart attack, death, and the list goes on and on.
10. Just because someone smokes weed, does not make them a loser. If they didnt have weed to smoke, they would probably still be a loser.

I could go on all day about this, but what's the point. Just look at a place like amsterdam. The abuse rate is extremely low, and when was they last time you heard bad news from amsterdam? The point is, the more you deny something from people, the more they are going to want it. Just look at prohibition of alcohol. Not only were people putting themselves in harms way, just for a drink, it gave way to one of the biggest crime waves in history. Bootlegging was a favorite of many gangs back in their time.

As for me, I am successful in my field, I finished school, pay my own way, own a lovely home, own my own business, and smoke everyday. So before you pas judgement on something, maybe you should do a little research of your own. I am not condoning the use of "drugs", but some of us have got things figured out.
