From the Golden Age of Hollywood to the modern prescription drug epidemic, this episode of Conspiracy Tapes by Skoob exposes the dark connection between fame, addiction, and legally prescribed drugs.

We trace a deadly pattern through the lives and deaths of Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Whitney Houston, Heath Ledger, and Matthew Perry, revealing how Hollywood’s culture of silence, overwork, and easy access to prescription medications helped fuel decades of celebrity overdoses.

This isn’t gossip — it’s a deep dive into prescription drug abuse, celebrity addiction, enabling doctors, Hollywood pill culture, and systemic failure. From barbiturates and opioids to ketamine and sedatives, we examine how drugs meant to heal became instruments of destruction — not just for stars, but for millions of Americans.

Matthew Perry’s tragic death shows that despite decades of warnings, the system hasn’t changed — it’s only expanded.
