My personal favourite heroin overdose stories have to do with those too stupid to stick around and get saved. Mabe they don't want to be, I don't know. Living near San Francisco and having worked in ambulances and lived with a paramedic you hear and experience some great stuff. How about the wonders of narcan, the lifesaving drug that has a halflife less than that of the drug it is used to treat. Imagine how great you feel to bring that HOD patient round just to have them run and end up dying a little while later because one of their buddies thinks they are doing them a great favor by hiding them from the mean ambulance people. I have to agree that people who have this as their life ambition are huge idiots. I grew up in a family where we knew and were friends with those on the fringes of "normal" society. I myself am tatooed and unashamed of that, but an idiot is an idiot. No amount of bashing those you acuse of prejudice can change that fact.
