LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The first search of Michael Jackson's bedroom a day after his death found marijuana, skin-bleaching and hair-growing ointments, anti-insomnia pills and empty bottles of several anti-anxiety drugs, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.The documents reveal what investigators found in Jackson's bedroom the day after his death.
A substance initially suspected to be tar heroin proved not to be a narcotic, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
An affidavit, written by Los Angeles Detective Orlando Martinez, was used to outline probable cause for a warrant to search Jackson's Holmby Hills, California, home on June 26. Martinez filed his report on what was found in the search five days later.
While the documents may provide some insight into Jackson's life, they appeared to contain nothing that would lend new insight into his death.
Another sworn statement written by Martinez several weeks later -- and made public earlier this week -- provided a more extensive list of drugs found by investigators at Jackson's bedside.
That document also revealed that toxicology tests led the Los Angeles County coroner to a preliminary conclusion that Jackson died of an overdose of propofol, a powerful sedative he had been given to help him sleep.
The latest release refers to suspicions by some members of Jackson's family in the hours after his June 25 death that heroin might have been involved.
"During the course of the investigation, family members of the decedent notified [coroner investigator] Chief [Ed] Winter that they located a quantity of tar heroin in a bag in the decedent's bedroom located on the second floor of the residence," Martinez wrote.
He used this statement to justify a search of Jackson's home because "there may be additional medications and/or narcotics at the location as well as the necessity to confiscate these items for the safety of the minor children."
A source with knowledge of the probe told CNN Thursday that a test later showed that a brown, sticky substance found in the search was not heroin. The source asked not to be named because the source was not authorized to speak about it publicly.
In addition to listing two Baggies of marijuana, the detective's report of what was found in Jackson's home listed three vials of Latanoprost Plus Solution liquid. An online search found medical journal references to this glaucoma medication also used to stimulate hair growth.
Jackson suffered permanent hair loss when his scalp caught fire while taping a Pepsi commercial in 1984. He was known to wear wigs in public after the mishap.
Also listed on the detective's report was Benoquin ointment, a medication used to lighten skin pigmentation in people with vitiligo, a skin condition.

Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, said on CNN's "Larry King Live" last month that he had treated Jackson for the condition, which causes irregular patches of white skin. "His was bad because he began to get a totally speckled look over his body," Klein said.
The coroner announced two weeks ago that the report on Jackson's death was completed, but that police asked for it to be withheld until completion of the criminal probe.

At the passing of yet another “Famous” person due to addiction, I reflect upon my own life. Blessings of hope are sent to the Goldstein’s, Jackson’s, Kennedy’s and the countless others whose lives have been affected by addiction.
A collection of thoughts~~ Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism. ~ Carl Gustav Jung
“The scientific community, psychologists, neuroscientists, et. al. know a lot about addiction, and, while I find much of what they tell us fascinating, none of it is fun. Science makes the glamour of addiction wither on the vine: At first, researchers tell us, opiates like heroin flood the brain with pleasure-giving dopamine. Many potential addicts start out with fewer than normal dopamine receptors, which make the early experience of dopamine highs feel less like a kick than a revelation. But over time drug-associated dopamine surges distort one's ability to set priorities (like caring for daughters) or unlearn a drug habit. In later stages of a habit, the addicted brain tries to stabilize itself by shedding dopamine receptors, and with them goes the ability to feel joy. That kind of impairment is slow to heal and is sometimes permanent, which is one reason addicts so often relapse.
Science is fascinating; it has an endless narrative of discovery and rediscovery; it connects people all over the world; it's strong medicine. But as an antidote to the lure of intoxication scientific knowledge remains a placeholder - not a cure” ~Lynn Philips, Full Article - http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/dream/200908/addict-addiction
“In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.” ~ Aldous Huxley
“People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.” ~Ramona L. AndersonNo Matter how famous, rich, poor, wise or ignorant addiction can still take control of life and spin it helplessly out of control.

Seems like it would have been more surprising that some drug (any drug) was NOT found at Michael Jackson's home.
And yet, according to his well trained children, he was still "the world's greatest dad". Kinda heartwarming :-)
To think I gave up drugs when my kids were born. Apparently that was completely unnecessary...
Still, imagine being so damn rich that you can afford to hire actual doctors to pack your bong and heat your teaspoon for you :-)

This says nothing negative about marijuana, if anything it helps. This only goes to show some of the smartest, most athletic, and in this case talented people in the world use it. I'm not a MJ fan or anything, but there's no denying he was a great artist.

With out sounding like "Leave Britney alone!" (But the kid did have a point), I'd like to say, "Stop it people!" You are the ones obsessed with other peoples' lives. You are the freaks!
Lets sneak in your bedrooms and basements and see what you have hidden there, besides the skeletons in your closets. Fuckin' get off it!
Let's pick apart every moment of everyday of your life and see how you react.
Drop the stone and get on with your lives. Damn! - 6 months ago

Ok the NEXT day after, staff, family, security, and the Dr. had a chance to do whatever. Remember the bloody womens shirt, I will never believe tar heroin and MJ. Scripts yes but not street drugs. why didnt the law do something right away instead of waiting? There is much more to this. Not sure I really want or need to know. Its time to let him rest dead or alive.

Leave mj alone.. if I was talking shit on your bro, sis, mom/dad all day everyday TIMES a few hundred million.. youd prolly paint ur face white and over a million different rumors would stem up from jokes and the he said she said bs we all know. I thought current was a little more mature than this but I guess the immature viewers who crack jokes all day at with their coworkers to fit in eventually would come out. Grow up, get that ego to stop thinking that it knows all. And post on more important subjects.
Am I an ignorant HC Mj fan? I enjoy his music.. but only know the names of like 3 songs.. so no. I only know as much as the biased news tells me. Drop this topic already...

Why is the headline about them finding pot in his place? Who the fuck care if he had weed in his house when they searched it. No one has ever died from pot. If anything, smoking it would only improve his health as it is a preventative medicine as well as a treatment for numerous diseases and illnesses. And why is this such a big story? They found nothing that is even remotely surprising in there.

Marijuana. No wonder he was always so... high in personality all the time, seriously. I don't like how he had skin bleaching cream, but if he wanted to become white, whatever. I mean couldn't he have used a chemical to make him dark? I'm just saying.
Otherwise no one cares about news of him anymore. Like GQ magazine said, 'Let's face it: no body wants to remember THAT Michael Jackson', honestly. We just want to remember the cool Michael Jackson of the 80's when he was black, had no child weirdness allegations, and other funny stuff.

Actually he had skin bleaching cream because of his vitiligo and rather than have the blotchy spotted skin he opted to just lighten it all. And no, there isnt a chemical to make your skin dark (orange from spray tans is the closest) and tanning doesnt work with vitiligo because its a loss of pigmentation and actually makes the condition appear worse.
