DMX life lessons
American rapper and actor DMX has died after decades of crack cocaine addiction at the age of 50.
Born Earl Simmons in New York in 1970, DMX struggled most of his life with drug addiction. He resorted to robbery and violence just like many other heavy drug addicts of his generation.
He spent a significant portion of his life with committing crimes, serving time in correctional institutions and battling addiction.
An unspecified overdose ultimately ended DMX's life, but the tragic story of addiction to heavy drugs continues in America. Crack cocaine is not exactly the most popular heavy drug in America today, but Americans have a thousand new ways to get addicted.
The opioid crisis gripping the country today is one serious issue, emanating from corruption among the most powerful men in the country, just like the crack epidemic.
Overdose deaths in the United States may have topped 90,000 in 2020, but the opioid crisis in not getting enough attention due to the Covid-19 pandemic, something that is about to change.
