Isn't that how Michael Jackson was getting anesthesia medicine

He had to hire and board a full-time "personal cardiologist" to get that sweet, sweet propofol.

Doc was pulling $200k/mo, but lost his license and served two (of four) years of a prison sentence.

Oof. Poor Jackson… “brought down” in the evening, “brought up” in the morning (depressants, stimulants), that’s a hard way to live.

What evidence is there for stimulants? I remember reading he was trying to get something speedy but it seemed like he wasn't as "successful" as he was with obtaining the downers and anaesthetics
