George Michael ‘is found slumped in car with drugs’
The singer George Michael has been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs after being found slumped at the wheel of a car in central London.
The 42-year-old was discovered by a passer-by early on Sunday morning in Hyde Park Corner, who called the emergency services.
Michael was checked by paramedics who arrived at a street near the busy roundabout with the police, but the singer, who has a history of depression, did not need hospital treatment.
Police then searched the singer and allegedly discovered two forms of Class C drug – believed to be Cannabis and GHB, a type of liquid cannabis. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled drug.
WAIT A SECOND!! Did they just say that GHB is a type of liquid cannabis? Whoa! These people need to get their information straight! GHB is a colorless, odorless liquid often used in DATE RAPE. Let’s check google, first hit, “Unfortunately, it has gained status as a recreational drug and as a rape drug, and has become dangerously common.” and “Sexual predators of all ages are attracted by the disinhibiting and euphoric effects of GHB, for they know a user may be easily taken advantage of in an assault. Some exotic dancers and strippers self-dose with GHB, seeking a “sexierâ€Â? performance.” and “Gay and lesbian populations also use GHB as a recreational drug. In some cases, it is also used in this community for rape or robbery purposes..”
Guess he REALLY wanted their SEX! Hey Independant – PLEASE report the facts PROPERLY!

Above, read the facts yourself. GHB is used recreationally far more than it is as a “date rape drug” I believe, alcohol is used for that purpose far more often. GHB is a euphoric depressant and he was probably using it himself and passed out. It is silly to assume that every person carrying GHB is holding it with the intent to spike someone’s drink.
