If I had a million dollars, there is no way I would spend it on drugs to "make me feel good", as I would be feeling pretty good already!

Balderdash !

Even if heroin were regulated and legal it is unlikely the addiction of Mr. Hoffman would have ended otherwise; the need for an ever-higher high had taken hold long ago.

"Nearly 70 small bags of heroin and enough prescription drugs to fill a pharmacy were found in the Greenwich village apartment where troubled Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died of an apparent drug overdose, sources said.
Investigators found the huge heroin stash after executing a search warrant, and also discovered an assortment pills used to treat a variety of ills and ailments including anxiety and attention-deficit disorder.

Timothy Bugge, the new commanding officer of Manhattan South Narcotics, emailed the alert to supervisors asking if they had dealt with heroin labeled 'Ace of Spades,' or 'Ace of Hearts.'

Authorities also want to determine if Hoffman’s supply was laced with fentanyl – an opiate given to cancer patients to soothe their pain.
The fentanyl-heroin combination has been linked to more than 100 deaths in America – with more three dozen deaths in Maryland since September.

Among the prescription drugs found in the apartment were clonidine hydrochloride, a blood-pressure medication, buprenorphine, an addiction treatment drug, Vyvanse, which is used to treat attention-deficit disorder, hydroxyzine, which is used to treat anxiety and methocarbamol, a muscle relaxer."

I think I actually found the answer to this question. I believe that all morality is SOCIAL morality. I.e. our morality is that set of standards that allows us to get along in society. We need various people for various reasons, so we have a set of rules that we live by, in order to please those we depend upon.

However, in our society, a person with a very large amount of money can use money to over-ride those social requirements, and without the social requirements, the "morality" becomes uneccessary. I.e. wealthy people do not have the same perception of "limits" or "boundaries" that the average person has. This change in perception eventually overrides ideas of right and wrong.

It's like my grandmother used to say, it's always something. Either PSH is ODing, or Bob Dancer is stealing breakfasts from the hotel. Goodnight, Jane.

He could act.

DonDiego understands Mr. Hoffman left behind a girlfriend and their three young children.
