Sneak Peek: Miles Davis had a drug addiction that was catching up with him | Autopsy | REELZ

[@dylannotsor6955]

As a struggling addict this is crushing for me because I've always seen him as an inspiration that if he could kick H that I could too. But seeing that it lasted his whole life but he just kept it hidden hurts because he was such a talented and successful man.

[@lisalisa4182]

Hope you are doing well in your fight. He was in so much pain (physical and mental). It's not surprising he turned to whatever he could find to get some relief. Considering the race situation and the state of healthcare throughout his lifetime, there weren't many options available to him as far as treatments and care for all of his ailments were concerned. It wasn't that he needed superhuman strength to kick. Nowadays people choose to self medicate. I don't think he had a choice.

@@lisalisa4182 With all humility, that's not the attitude my friend. The only excuses that are valid to continue an addiction that you want to get rid of are the ones that you yourself validate. Anyone and everyone has the ability to stop. They just need to find the right reason. Peace and love, brothers.

[@lisalisa4182]

@@c.l.368 Of course everyone has the ability to stop an addiction. But some find their reasons for being addicted to be more powerful than their reasons to quit. Until they are able to defeat that mindset, they struggle.

@@lisalisa4182 "I don't think he had a choice." Theres always a choice. Thinking like this is the very thing that gets you hooked for life.

[@lisalisa4182]

@@c.l.368 I was speaking about receiving treatment for his physical and mental problems (drug addiction being one) at that time in history. Self medicating was the only choice he saw at that time. Becoming an addict was not his choice, I'm sure.

Miles davis had sickle cell disease/anemia that causes pain in the joints after a crisis.

[@youngdeezy64]

What are the signs of sickle cell

[@sohooded]

Poor Miles, He was so talented and successful. But he struggled his entire life with demons, women, drugs, illness....

[@c.l.368]

@Cee Z Anyone that's been through a cocaine addiction will laugh at your comment. Yea yea, he had a blast all the way through. Why don't you try doing coke for a few years bud? See how much of a blast you have. Lol

[@c.l.368]

@Cee Z btw wtf does race have to do with it ...... just lol mate

[@rillloudmother]

1975: Miles' place in NY wasn't an apartment, he had a damn backyard on 77th street!

[@777jones]

He died just like Jerry Garcia, using coke and heroin way past the age when he needed to stop. He became a drug caricature of his earlier self.

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

"From 1975 to early 1980 I didn't pick up my horn," Davis says. "Mostly during those four or five years . . . I just took a lot of cocaine (about $500 a day at one point) . . ." He also had sex with "all the women I could get into my house. I was also addicted to pills, like Percodan and Seconal (Oxycodone and Benzodiazepam like xanax), and I was drinking a lot . . . mostly I snorted coke, but sometimes I would inject coke and heroin into my leg; it's called a speedball and it was what killed John Belushi."

[@VonnieVonVonX2]

Will be tuning in like I always do

[@arasimonian]

when and where can I watch this??

[@Lwyse96]

Miles should never have touched drugs.

[@juanmartiniglesias6008]

imho pain and depression are much worse that these medecines…..

[@rillloudmother]

your dad should've never touched your mom, but here we are...

[@nocomment1469]

Shut up you square

[@youngbrandonc.ondrums6950]

Whitney got Bobby Brown doing drugs

[@davidpfeifer9489]

Larry Wyse easy for u to say. He came up in TOUGH times when it was everywhere. Kinda like today again

[@Karen-dm5lb]

Gotta see this episode. The king of jazz had some issues

[@youngdeezy64]

You can buy coke with a check back then ?

[@JungleYT]

That was 2 minutes I'll never get back...

[@jamesmorton81]

if i were born black in america in 1926 i would need drugs too........

[@joaquindelarosa1215]

Wrong! I know times were tough but.... One must have the mind of a warrior.

[@joseluislowe1463]

He wasnt just abusing pills he was snorting heroin aswell but yet pain killers are basically heroin in a pill and codiene is liquid heroin.. In one way shape form or another people are using heroin

[@nocomment1469]

Morphine is NOT the heroin of prescription ... Hydromorphone is !!

[@farrellwatson1428]

Does anybody know where I can see the full program?

[@kevinguziec2497]

He was taking AZT before he died

[@mikes51501]

More I read up on Miles the more it seems like he was a screwball, which we all can be sometimes. Cocaine really changed his life for worst. There has to be a good side to him though outside if his music.

[@marijchampa]

It hurts how obvious it is that this guy is reading from a script..... Like do you even med school bro?

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

hes not a real doctor. no way no how.

[@nocomment1469]

He's a dork

[@trumpetman]

Well, wasn’t he suffering from sickle cell anemia too? I mean, yeah. Probably addicted to pain killers guys.

[@FLHOL]

When people like musicians such as Miles there is no time for love.They sign contracts.So Miles has worked under hard pressure for a lot of money no wonder he was addicted on drugs.Another example is Elvis Presly.

[@christopherbent2359]

Is this guy a real Dr.? Morphine is not the medical form of heroin. Heroin is the medical form of heroin

[@latneyb]

Morphine isn't heroin. Just because ya got scrubs on doesn't mean you know shit.

[@maasicas]

Honestly this teaser is pretty disgusting.

[@cristianjimenez1000]

gangsta

[@emmanueljenkins3303]

This is such bullshit if miles could see this 😣

[@lindahines9380]

Liar@ 2021!

[@ignaciodimarco500]

od more than 5 times. but still miss coke (sober and leading a fit lifstyle now days). nothing like black cofee and shooting coke in veins at the morning. OG miles was a beast.
