The notion that you could overdose from smoking dope like that is so crazy to me.
Back over a decade ago before I quit, it was basically common knowledge that you couldn't realistically overdose and die from smoking H on foil because you'd pass out and just fall asleep before you could physically smoke enough to OD.
Everyone back in my group knew that you only started running the risk of a serious OD when you started shooting it. The only people I knew from back in the day who OD'd and actually died were people who were really deep into the stages of addiction and shooting up large doses basically daily.
To OD and DIE? From SMOKING it? That's shocking, even to me as someone who can think of at least 3 friends who died from opiate ODs.
That's something that only happens with fentanyl because it's 50x the potency of H and 100x the potency of morphine.
I think it has to do with potency and you never know the quality and whether it's pure or mix with something else. You know about the stuff from China. It might be mix with something else.
The unknown potency is a huge factor too. You never know what you get when you buy black market. But also if it was really heavily cut with something then you might also have trouble smoking enough to actually OD.
This is downtown Portland and dead body

That's true.
He wasn't a 'Person of Interest'. 😮
Just despicable. God must be crying.
It is getting horrible in our streets. Pray for them.
Yes, I pray.
