Don't know if he travels a lot, but that's generally when people get overdoses. So much tolerance is psychological - a person readies their drugs with the same ritual in the same room - that their body doesn't have the same tolerance when it's taken another way. I think foul play

- DanBC 13y agoTolerance isn't psychological. People may be using drugs of unknown strength or may be preparing them in different ways but they don't have heart attacks from psychological tolerance. I agree that suspicion of foul play is premature. Hope he gets a good autopsy.
- furyofantares 13y ago> Tolerance isn't psychological. Are you just speculating? I haven't really studied psychology but have an interest in it. My understanding is that in a familiar setting the body starts compensating before the drugs are ingested. From http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1384078 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1384078 > These rituals produced drug-opposite physiological responses which resulted in an attenuation of the effects of the drug. Thus, tolerance was observed when the subjects injected the opiate, but not when the same dose was received by un-signaled intravenous infusion. These results are consistent with a conditioning explanation for the observed drug tolerance.
