The Final 24 - Hunter S Thompson - see pinned comment.
Many decades ago - me and the boys were partying, and at that time, I was reading, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson.
Many decades later, I reread it, a few times, when the movie came out, and I was surprised at how accurate the written word and a few drawings from the book, could be made so faithfully into a film that was an almost exact copy of the book.
However with the ravages of the drug scene, I found that most of my peers of that time, had suicided, over dosed or really fucked themselves up in major sorts of ways.
While Thompson had been an interesting influence, he had never made any effort to show people how to survive and get out of the drug scene.
They were all trapped with no way out.
So I wrote him a letter (yes with real paper, an envelope and a stamp) telling him about the issues I have raised, and that he had an obligation to give people an exit strategy with addictions and issues, and he had not done it.
Around 6 months later, he wrote on his type writer, "Councillor", then he killed himself.
No one connected to him, knew why this was his last final act.
I did.
He fulfilled his obligation to me.
"If you have issues, go and get help".

This is my Teatise on "The Drug Scene" and getting out of the drug scene, and getting back into life....
This is interesting - it's my way of illustrating that you need to build the present, on the past.
And while I think this guy was using drugs - he has produced a very interesting talk on use and abuse of legal and illegal drugs.

This is an interesting set - Hunter and I go back a LONG way...
You need this compendium to make sense of the letter that I wrote to him, and the outcome of doing this, and what he then put into effect as his final act just before suiciding.

My pinned comment.
There is a bit of history in this... I read the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in 1983 / 1984 - and when I saw this movie - it's one of the most perfect translations of a book into a movie that I have ever come across.
And the book - while a totally full of shit druggie crap fest - at the time it was a bit of a life saver - because of the desperate circumstances my life and I could relate in the most humorous ways to the adventures in it.
A favourite piece:
"About five miles back I had a brush with the CHP. Not
stopped or pulled over: nothing routine. I always drive
properly. A bit fast, perhaps, but always with consummate
skill and a natural feel for the road that even cops
recognize. No cop was ever born who isn’t a sucker for a
finely - executed hi - speed Controlled Drift all the way
around one of those cloverleaf freeway interchanges.
Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a
highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and
immediately pull over to the side when he sees the big red
light behind him . . . and then we will start apologizing,
begging for mercy.
This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop - heart. The
thing to do - when you’re running along about a hundred or
so and you suddenly find a red - flashing CHP - tracker on
your trail - what you want to do then is accelerate. Never pull
over with the first siren - howl. Mash it down and make the
bastard chase you at speeds up to 120 all the way to the
next exit. He will follow. But he won’t know what to make of
your blinker - signal that says you’re about to turn right.
This is to let him know you’re looking for a proper place to
pull off and talk . .. keep signaling and hope for an off -
ramp, one of those uphill side - loops with a sign saying
“Max Speed 25” . . . and the trick, at this point, is to
suddenly leave the freeway and take him into the chute at
no less than a hundred miles an hour.
He will lock his brakes about the same time you lock yours,
but it will take him a moment to realize that he’s about to
make a 180 - degree turn at this speed . .. but you will be
ready for it, braced for the Gs and the fast heel - toe work,
and with any luck at all you will have come to a complete
stop off the road at the top of the turn and be standing
beside your automobile by the time he catches up.
He will not be reasonable at first . . . but no matter. Let him
calm down. He will want the first word. Let him have it. His
brain will be in a turmoil: he may begin jabbering, or even
pull his gun. Let him unwind; keep smiling. The idea is to
show him that you were always in total control of yourself
and your vehicle - while he lost control of everything."
I wrote to my good freind Hunter S. Thomson, a paper and posted letter - around September 2004 - explaining that while he promoted "the party life style" on lots of drugs etc., and the "drug scene" has enormous amounts of dead and damaged people - and in amongst all of his levity about increasingly intolerable situations, he had never left a way out for people, for whom the drugs had run their course and they needed a sign post on how to leave all that shit behind and how to get their lives together.
He had a heap of health issues and had gotten old etc., and 6 months later on February 20, 2005, he decided to kill himself by sticking a 45 in his mouth and shooting himself in the head.
But the last thing he did, was to type ONE word on his magical type writer.
He typed the word, "counselor".
No one else but me, knew why had typed this one last word, on a completely blank piece of paper.
I understood what he meant.
This was his sign post to everyone, wanting to get out of the drug scene.
"Go and ask for help."

Death
At 5:42 pm on February 20, 2005, Thompson died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at Owl Farm, his "fortified compound" in Woody Creek, Colorado. His son Juan, daughter-in-law Jennifer, and grandson were visiting for the weekend. His wife Anita, who was at the Aspen Club, was on the phone with him as he cocked the gun. According to the Aspen Daily News, Thompson asked her to come home to help him write his ESPN column, then set the receiver on the counter. Anita said she mistook the cocking of the gun for the sound of his typewriter keys and hung up as he fired. Will and Jennifer were in the next room when they heard the gunshot, but mistook the sound for a book falling and did not check on Thompson immediately. Juan Thompson found his father's body. According to the police report and Anita's cell phone records,[58] he called the sheriff's office half an hour later, then walked outside and fired three shotgun blasts into the air to "mark the passing of his father." The police report stated that in Thompson's typewriter was a piece of paper with the date "Feb. 22 '05" and a single word, "counselor."[59]
