Hernandez was hooked on drugs, guns among Other things according to Rolling Stone Magazine

An investigative report in the new issue of Rolling Stone dives deep into the personal and professional life of Aaron Hernandez, and the findings aren’t pretty.


The article, written by Paul Solotaroff, provides many new details about Hernandez, who was indicted last week on first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of Odin Lloyd.


According to a short preview article on the magazine’s website, Solotaroff obtained many shocking details about the former New England Patriots star through interviews with friends, former teammates and NFL sources.

Here are the six revelations provided by the magazine:

Money doesn't solve problems. Actors, actresses, polititians, regular Joe all have the same issues. He just couldn't get out of the thug life

PCP is one of the worst. Never tried it. Had a roommate from a tough area of Boston who shared horror stories with me about that stuff.
He warned me to stay away from it.

PCP=great buzz, dangerous shit

the mom should be put in jail for life since she destroyed her sons far before any of this

There’s broad agreement that the problem snowballed once Hernandez signed his megadeal last summer ($40 million over a five-year term, including the largest signing bonus, $12.5 million, ever given to a tight end). In an alleged letter to a supporter from jail, he acknowledged that he “fell off especially after making all that money,” though added, with the diplomacy of a preschool kid, that “all the people who turned on me will feel like crap” when they hear “not guilty.

In his first remarks after Odin Lloyd’s murder, Robert Kraft described himself as “duped” by Hernandez, saying he’d had no knowledge of his troubles. That is arrant nonsense: Every team knew him as a badly damaged kid with a circle of dangerous friends and a substance problem. Once a Patriot, Hernandez practically ran up a banner that said STOP ME! I’M OUT OF CONTROL! He’d get high all the time driving away from games, say friends of the family, “smoking three or four blunts” in the ride back to his place. He avoided all contact with teammates after practice, even among the guys in his position group, which is unheard of in the league.

The only X-factor is concerns about my use of recreational drugs. To address that, I am putting my money where my mouth is” by offering to take eight drug tests during the season, and to return a portion of his paycheck if found dirty. This was both delusional and an empty vow: The players’ union would block even one extra test and any attempt to pay back guaranteed money. After seeing his pre-draft psychological report, where he received the lowest possible score, one out of 10, in the category of “social maturity” and which also noted that he enjoyed “living on the edge of acceptable behavior,” a handful of teams pulled him off their boards, and 25 others let him sink like a stone on draft day, April 24th. Only one team took the bait, burning a midround pick on a guy with “character issues”: the stoop-to-conquer Patriots of Bill Belichick. Time was, the Pats were the Tiffany franchise, a team of such sterling moral repute that they cut a player right after they drafted him, having learned he had a history of assaulting women. But Beli-chick, the winner of three Super Bowl titles and grand wizard of the greatest show on turf, had decided long before he got to New England that such niceties were beneath him. Over a decade, he’d been aggregating power unto himself, becoming the Chief Decider on personnel matters. He signed so many players bearing red flags they could have marched in Moscow’s May Day parade (Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, et al.), and began drafting kids with hectic pasts, assuming the team’s vets would police them. Some of this was arrogance, some of it need: When you’re picking from the bottom of the deck each spring, you’re apt to shave some corners to land talent.
