Drugs may have clouded his mind, but I wouldn't say marijuana. My reason is because I used to be very depressed and suicide was a constant theme on my mind. Marijuana always cleared things up for me and made it much easier. I know they say that your problems are still there after you come down from the high, but so is the clarity and insight that high gives you. I can truly say marijuana and music saved my life, they held my hand through the dark nights.

Also wondering about people who live dangerously, for instance Steve Irwin, whose actions were always on the edge of danger, as some would say 'inviting death'.
And also, in cases where people seem to have attracted negative things to themselves, for instance cancer in the LOA view, or people who have lived imbibing toxins for a long period of time, like smokers or drinkers who eventually die from lung cancer or cirrhosis, 'slow suicides' as some say.
Can those be termed natural deaths, where this man's instant death was not?
It seems that there aren't clear lines between 'natural deaths', where something happens TO someone, and deaths in which the person attracts the deadly circumstances. |
