I'm not usually one for indulging in conspiracy theories, but if there was ever a shady coincidental happenstance. This "overdose" definitly deserves to be looked at more thoroughly under a metaphorical blacklight.

My worst OD was with that mixture as well, only I was lucky enough to have people with me and live in a country where calling the emergency services doesn't end with police at your door for overdoses.

Legal opiates are now the biggest killer of addicts, according to at least one new study:

#23My Dad once said, the world would be a better place if drugs and alcohol only killed people we didn't care about. Sadly the world is not like that.
There'd be a lot fewer minorities if that was the case.

"Drug abuse (opiates in particular) is more common in our field than we think"
Even opiates aside, drug & alcohol abuse is ridiculously common for people that have a very /public/ and forced extraverted role in any field. The creative field is probably one of the most heavy cases for this sort of thing.

> Heroin, coke, and alcohol. Quickest way to overdose
Is there something specific about this combination or do you simply mean generally with Class A drugs?

Doesn't surprise me. While being a heroin addict requires knowledge of risks (dealers don't like customers dying on them), popping a few OxyContin that you have left over from surgery doesn't, despite being nearly as strong.

I think the fact the use and abuse of legal opiates are much more common (abuse is estimated an 10% of US population each year) than heroin (use is estimate at only 1.6% of US population even once during their entire lifetime) explains this.
Heroin is made much more dangerous because it is illegal and therefore of unknown potency and purity.
