    So he was a successful lawyer and heroin addict for 10 years? That’s actually kind of impressive. I guess a lot of times (before fentanyl at least), running out of money and needing to get more is the part about addiction that ends up fucking their life up. And he didn’t have to worry about that.

      Fentanyl isn’t as dangerous when you’ve been slamming dope every day for a decade, you might purposely seek it out at that point

      He also got into Harvard law despite being by his own admission a total fuckup. If you or I spend our adolescence committing crime and doing drugs we don’t get to go to Harvard but rfk got rewarded for his continual shitty decisions with one of the most prestigious educations followed up by an elite career in law. I am sure it was not a secret he was using the entire time and yet he continued to fail upwards. At least at this point he did some good for the world. Too bad he’s undone it all and then some (another measles outbreak today in Kansas)
