California doctor dubbed 'Candyman' convicted of illegal prescriptions

28 August 2015   Julio Gabriel Diaz, 67, was convicted of 79 counts of distributing controlled substances after a two-and-a-half week trial in federal court, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

The Inquisitr - ‎Aug 29, 2015‎
In 2012, Diaz was arrested and pleaded guilty to 11 charges but later withdrew his plea, saying he was ill advised about the sentence he was facing and unaware that federal prosecutors would argue that his prescriptions could be tied to 20 people who died.

The horror of Meth

Before-and-after pictures reveal shocking transformation in faces of users hooked on deadly drug. The photos, that show a shocking Dorian Gray-like deterioration, were compiled from mug shots of drug users that were arrested repeatedly over the years.


A sad case of Meth Mouth.  When you have money or good credit, you can repair some of the damages.  Lindsay Lohan Skipped Probation to Get Her Filthy Teeth Fixed.   WTF is going on here, early stage meth mouth?  Yet another celebrity victim, Lisa Robin Kelly, of That 70s Show.  Castmates: Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, Danny Masterson, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama to name a few.

Britney Spears is a Breaking Bad fan?  Did she or didn't she?

The Jael Strauss story blows away all those “Faces of Meth” ads.  Some of our local dopes and meth heads have the money to keep up appearances yet the slow decay will show up over time.  (bad, bad boys, too - William Paxson - William Konrad - Jerry Boeff - Paul Woellert).  Not everyone is as lucky with the looks department and shades can only cover up so much.  Drugs are fairly available behind bars but for the lucky ones they can stay off while they do their time.  Other  bodies have been known to deteriorate more rapid as you can observe if unfortunate enough to watch them try and work.

The playing field of Santa Barbara is not equal in the world of Rich man, poor man, methamphetamine. That is a grim fact of life. It was recently stated in a local news report that the Mexican cartels have taken over the local street gangs.  What will that mean for other dealers and abusers?  It doesn't get much more bloody, outside of a war, than the escalation in Mexico.  On our local shores the War on Drugs has been kicked up a few notches with the recent murder of a federal law enforcement officer.  We don't see how it helps when the privileged use illegal slave labor from Mexico or the US to do their dirty work.

Meth users often end up in the justice system.  From Hollywood actors to lawyers, from race car drivers and minor league baseball players to children of pastors, from surfers to teachers … from any walk of life you care to name, methamphetamine has found its takers, its so-called tweekers.

The justice system's bad case scenario and they can roam, they just can't hide from the law forever when meth is only one of their many Illegalities.   Birds of a feather do flock together.  Will meth change who you are?
   It sure did a number on Aaron Carter.
