Hi Mark. Great Book! I read around the internet that Demri's family blamed Layne for getting Demri hooked on heroin. But Also read that it was the other way around. In an interview with Phil Anselmo from Pantera the interviewer brought up Layne. And Phil kinda mentions that his gilfriend was the one that got Layne hooked. He says " next time I saw him was early 92'. I met his girlfriend, who eventually was the girl who ended up down in a hole. She turned him on to dope." Do you know if its true?

Thanks for reading! Honestly, I don’t know the particulars of who turned whom on to what. Lots of conflicting stories out there.
