33. correction: adulterated drug products kill

Tue Sep 14, 2021, 01:16 PM

addicts are rarely trying to commit suicide. They are killed by adulterants, unknown dosages, lethal ingredient substitutions, incarceration, diseases spread by shared needles, violence associated with the drug trade etc. Opioid addiction in particular will generally not kill you if you have access to clean needles, unadulterated supplies with known dosages, and a safe way to acquire and use your drugs.
