Gotta say, I'm rolling my eyes at the "How did Heath Ledger get all those prescriptions" question that the national media and, apparently, the DEA are asking. Why? Well, I have three of the five in my medicine cabinet right now, accumulated over the course of a year, and I'm a reasonably healthy guy:
1) Hydrocodone - sprained ankle, never actually took one, still in the cabinet
2) Xanax - Needed after a 5-day Vegas bender to be capable of sleeping through the ensuing withdrawl and catch-up work stress. Took it just one night, still in the cabinet
3) Ambien - Recent insomnia episode
Obviously, Ledger royally fucked up by taking them simultaneously, and why the hell he would do that is a valid question. But as far as how he got all those drugs in the first place? I'm guessing he had a series of incidents like mine and simply asked his doc to prescribe something. That shit accumulates, and its not like you need to venture to the bad part of town at 2am to get them. Or maybe his doctor belongs in prison, we'll see.
