It probably wasn’t the first time Michael Jackson had taken a shot of demerol, it wouldn’t be much of surprise if he had told the doctor to give him a extra big shot. After all Michael Jackson was 50 years old and was in rehersals preparing for a 50 show tour to begin in July. A lot of 50 year olds take demerol and worse on a daily basis to help them get through the day. Michael might be alive if he used herb but he promised Reagan in 1984 he did not believe in illegal drugs.
