I cannot disagree more with this. They overdose because they are addicts addicted to an addictive substance and cannot control their intake of it because they relinquish their own self-discipline in exchange to comply with their compulsive needs. It's really an absurd statement to make, and a presumptuous one at that.Originally Posted by The Man
People die from alcohol poisoning every day because they are addicted to drinking. People become addicted to sugar and fats and what have you, and they die from the effects those substances have on their bodies when they grow to be 400 pounds. People lose body parts due to being unable to stop smoking. It doesn't matter the legality issues of the substance. If a substance is addictive and you cannot respond properly to it, it will harm you. And if you think that regulating heroin as a legal substance will prevent addicts from overdosing on it, you are living in a fantasy world.
I seriously doubt his heroin was laced with anything. Heroin kills you, period. He's been clean and sober for 20+ years and probably took a portion that was the size of what he would have done when he was raging two decades ago. It was too much for his body to handle and it killed him. Simple as that.
