Very few hallucinogens can kill you. And none of the dangerous ones are any good anyway. If the white powder they "claim" was coke was indeed coke they would have known immediately. They can test it on the spot. They knew he had hallucinogens, but not sure what the white powder was? C'mon man.

They were saying it was cocaine without saying it was cocaine.

It could've been PCP - which can also be a powder.

Given the location, there's a chance it was scopolamine, which could indicate foul play. Not sure what color it is powder form, though.

In its basic state the color is dependent on the chemicals used in the extraction process. Once refined and purified, it's white.

PCP is NOT as dangerous as you've been told.

The danger of PCP is the cops shooting you while you're dancing naked in the streets.

L-O-L - you've OBVIOUSLY never did PCP. It's by far THE scariest drug I've ever done. I've done acid, shrooms, mescaline, salvia, ayahuasca and K2/spice and never had a scary reaction like I did with PCP.

I'm not sure if we're still on topic, but it sounds like they found a lot of drugs. Even if drugs are relatively safe taken individually, that doesn't mean that it's safe to take everything at once and then wash it down with a pint of liquor. This is what I picture rock stars doing.

It could have been, but I doubt it. I doubt the validity of any of the drug claims. Again, how did they know he had hallucinogens but they didn't know what the white powder was? They would have needed a reagent test to verify the hallucinogen and could have simply tested the powder as well. But they didn't?

how did they know he had hallucinogens

The chupacabra on the ceiling kept screaming "IT'S HALLUCINOGENS!" at the deputy who came into accidental contact with some of the powder.

They were in Columbia. What else would it be?? Lol. I've been saying it was drugs the whole time, it was prolly a coke OD cuz of where they were at, before anyone mentioned him having drugs. They sent him to cocaine land and he had too much fun.

Could be horse, powdered quaalude, a new designer drug, etc.

Coke is often cut with fentanyl these days. I didn't realize how pervasive this is, nor how dangerous, until a conversation with some people about it last night who are "in the know". Yeah, I heard Trump talk about it, but still didn't really understand.

A family member is a medical professional and brought me up to speed. Put it like this, if someone has a fentanyl overdose (usually from what they think is coke), the EMTs often get poisoned from giving mouth to mouth. Beyond that, other medical staff often get poisoned just by handling the person in a normal emergency situation (even without mouth to mouth). That shit is deadly AF.

The impression I got is that you can't hardly get coke that isn't cut with that shit these days.

So, it could have been a "normal rockstar drug overdose", sure...but more likely there was an "added variable."
