[ Griffin said she was first introduced to pills via Provigil, an amphetamine similar to Adderall, which she had been prescribed by a doctor. She said she was later prescribed Ambien to help her sleep, and then painkillers after various injuries. “I really fell in love with them,” she said. “Then, it was kind of the allure of, ‘Oh, I can regulate my energy levels or my moods. Or ... I fell on my elbow in my act or something and I can be pain-free or something.’ And it got out of control very rapidly.”] Mood altering drugs can mess up your life and the life of people around you . But I still think there should be no insane WAR ON DRUGS . Doctors should not be subject to police state supervision for occasional errors in judgment in prescribing .

NOTE : I myself am quite conservative in my personal habits .] Kathy Griffin battles lung cancer, shares about dark chapter of addiction
