Sad. Many executives and high profile people are into drugs and other wild behavior behind closed doors. It is an escape from an otherwise demanding lifestyle for them. Sometimes things go wrong with overdoses, arrests or violence. There is a risk always with drugs. Drugs usually breed violence as well.

As the old saying goes "Keep knocking on the devils door and sooner or later its going to be answered"

I believe a lot of people in position of power are on drugs, it's the only way to get an edge on people who are clean. A drug habit makes people more likely to take risks and get ahead.

While they are functional regular users this would apply and you raise a great point. Problem is the very thin line seperating functional from the point problems start. Once that happens its all downhill unless they get scared straight fast. That does not happen often. May take an overdose, work, money or family troubles or an accident or trouble with the law first. Some suffer worse fates, like the man in the article here sadly.

His LinkedIn profile needs spellcheck:

Allegroies are often seen as an archiac form of narrative expression. Yet the the basic concepts about human morality remain universal sources of artistic inspiratiojn thousands of years later.
If you read the story, three guys met up and went to an apartment to do drugs and whatever else, possibly and maybe/likely a gay situation. It seems like gay murders/deaths are in the news a lot, from the Hofstra grad murdered, to the heavy club owner killed by his masseur, and this guy. The bigger story is the high risk behavior engaged in by some gays.
