You'd think Prince would have doctors that provided him with prescription scripts for real Vicodin or hell, even better! Why would Prince be gobbling Vicodins? SMH.

He did. But he started his opioid use illegally in the 80's for stage fright. He had the worst stage fright anyone in the biz had ever seen. Was big on dilaudid back then I think he mostly stayed away from heroin and street drugs.

His recent run had him in rehab and detoxed. He was in "treatment" just before he died. This involves cutting off legal prescriptions. You can't prescribe opioids to an addict lawfully.

They found a stash of stuff and with fentanyl as the cause of death without having a fentanyl prescription, we know he exited rehab and scored some Vicodin trying to balance out what he thought was dope sickness. Goes that way a lot these days. Whether you start with a script or have access to prescribed opioids is irrelevant once you begin letting treatment steer you around helping lead you to bad decisions. There's always a panic followed by poorly obtained opioids through some shady dealer in an effort to get well.
