This just in: Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead

[T.O.M.]

i often wonder when an experienced used dies if it was really suicide. though the quality of dope is much higher than in the past


and heres a point of view

From some of the cases I've seen, what tends to happen is the experienced user makes a mistake...the dope hasn't been cut as much, the user shoots a second time too soon after the first, the user can't see right and injects more than intended.  One case I recall well was a man who had a cold, so too several cold pills, using whiskey to chase them down.  Buddy comes over with heroin.  They decide to shoot together, but the first guy falls asleep while the buddy is mixing and loading syringes.  Well, he decided to shoot the first guy up anyways.  Mix of heroin, cold meds, and alcohol overwhelmed the system.  Manslaughter charge on the buddy.

you can get in trouble if a bag or batch of bags wasn't mixed well  get big variance from 1 to another.  if you get one too hot you know it though you may not be able to do anything before you go out

I realize we are not dealing with the most rational individuals, but... wow. Impressive decision-making there.
