Overdoses are deaths of despair. Nobody starts taking heroin because their life is going well, and users are aware of the risks.

- evgen 5y agoNobody sets out to overdose. I would agree that most people started taking heroin from a low point, but overdose is not an inevitable consequence nor is it necessarily a short-term outcome. Someone could have started using opioids a decade ago and finally had the numbers (and dangers of recent mixes that added fentanyl) catch up with them.
