After watching this video, and knowing he was dead, I was sure he would have died through some sort of drug/fan/outrageousness way, but he died from pancreatic cancer (at a very young age for that disease). I wish he had stayed around.

(oh, and he did eventually go straight edge, so he must have rethought some of this stuff.)

No, he never became "straight edge", he stopped smoking, drinking and drugs, but still spoke to the positive effect that drugs had on his life and carried this message until the day he died.

Bill Hicks spent his entire life honing his message and his act, he didn't turn around and "rethink some of it" when he got cancer.

If you want to find a drug that gives you cancer, you need look no further than alcohol and tobacco.

Psychedelics are not drugs, nor are they addictive, nor are they harmful.

Bill Hicks is on my list of the best in *standup
