    Jim Caroll seems such a humble calm person. I just heard about him through "The Basketball Diaries". I havent read the book but seen excerpt clips of the movie. But man, Jim Caroll's accent has that bellow tone like Kurt has when he talks.

    8:26 Sampling Nietzsche
    "What does not kill you only serves to make you stronger"
    That bothers me. That Quote is like a noose around my neck. It makes me furious.
    "What does not kill me only serves to make me sleep until three thirty the next afternoon"
    That I can relate to. And I am grateful he said it.

    They forgot to mention Jim could had been a NBA star. In Jim's book "Downtown Diaries" Jim said he was watching the NBA All Star Game and he said he was wiping the floor of the NBA stars before his heroin addiction robbed him of his youth. "The Basketball Diaries" should be required reading in every high school or college.

    Jim's juxtaposition of potentially highfalutin vocabulary with credible street ergot has always impressed me. Not to mention his ultra-cool paperthin voice. We miss you. You made a huge impression on me as a high schooler. I have never been the same. "Tremulous delicacy" indeed.

    I miss Jim. He had so much more to give and to share with the world.
    The novel The Petting Zoo was just the beginning of a new career in his pro's writing style.
    If father time could have played a different tune, on a different instrument. Alas, when the pipes play and that churning cold wind blows a harsh and unsettling rain that slows down time to a faint trembling of a drummers trill ... we've no less days to sing God's praise.

    I just watched "The 100" and afterwards saw that he died on 9/11 2009 so:
    "Yu gon plei stay odon"
    Your fight is over. [Said for every grounder who dies, in 3x07 "Thirteen" we see once and for the only time of this kickazz series I guess that a commander dies and the A.I. is taken out by the "Flamekeeper", so:
    Yu gon plei stay odon Jim Caroll kom New York kru.Gon plei kom Heda.
    "Your fight is over Jim Caroll from New York Crew. The commanders fight goes on."
    We had over 1,000 dead I would say in the series until than, or close to... but that a fight goes on never was heard before, of course it is because of the Series ("one of the most underestimated series of this century"), but strictly "we" addicts fight or do not fight, some even capitulated and never will even push a finger to fight. Millions of opiate users are here, lets forget the discussion that over 6,000 years Opiate addicts were no marginal group pushed out in many sections of public live like since the ban... it is like it is... Pfizer, Roche and others still have no other option than Opioids, Substitution and pain treatment and short-time caugh use of codeine/dihydrocodeine or in extrem rare cases Hydrocodone injection since methyl-morphin (Codein) derivates used in human medicine are very extreme anti-caugh potent compared to their total potency... and codeine with his ceiling effect makes it only good for very low dose pain medication or for short time on lower middle pain...
    Iran: Over 1.1 million opiate addicts
    USA, Canada + Europe: almost 1 million addicted, including the abusing pain patients, which are 1 to 2% of total patients, patients listening on their doctors instructions (retarded, maximum doses per day, maximim dose at once...) have less than 1% psychical addiction!
    So bye Jim! I do not know if you stole something like Christiane F. in her book which was filmed with David Bowie in West-Berlin 1981 and the book was released in 1978 I think... I thought the movie plays in the early 70's and not 60's... but Benzodiazepines were available also, but like Lyrica/Pregabalin and Gabapentin it takes some years. 1st November 2011 Flunitrazepam became a Drug in Germany without any special regulations like on other Benzodiazepines. Since this date slowly prices climbed extreme, Roche sold name rights for 1 million €uro for 99 years to a local company, and only Rohypnol kept its registration, as already Drug injection sollution was available together with the (normal recipe back than) Rohypnol 1mg Tablets which are all the same in Europe and even in New York some of these were found, but in the US now its allowed again oO (crazy world),
    However! Reading this explains many things, so the tablets, "Secundal" (german sync), means barbiturates were really more realistic until 1968, when "Mothers Little Helper" kicked out the extreme dangerous "barbis" and Roche had a patent on Diazepam (Valium) in many countries and over 50 different benzodiazepines were registered worldwide, some only to bypass a patent, some were only available in the "Warsaw Pact" states and Soviet Union... and so of course the other way around.
    I started because I'm "Psycho" and non-addictive medicine did not help me and I started very young after the "usual" young guy stuff (smoking tobacco, weed and drinking buzz as my mom was alcohol until 2008, so I can't drink beer or wine without getting heavy problems and maybe even puking...).
    Yea, addiction sux and downers are only interesting for people with problems like me, people which are happy, have no reason to be "sad" right now have a much lower chance to get addicted by these "feel good even in hell"-substances...
