I often wonder how a person like Peaches ended up on heroin in the first place. She must have be terribly sad and empty. Back in the old days it probably was seen as just another drug. By Peaches time she knew what it did more than anyone, considering how her mother died. And someone with so much money- it's not exactly seen as the Rockstar class drug it was back in the 80s and early 90s. I know it wasn't the "cool" drug on the camden scene when she was part of it. It's just so sad.
Edit: just to add to this, Peter Doherty, who knows all about the battle with heroin, begged her not to take it up and said "if you must, then be careful". She must have only been about 19 then. Maybe younger. She wrote "i swear not to die" in his journal. Awful.
