Inaccurate and pretentious statement. People have overdosed
on drugs for centuries, and you're not going to change that interpretation
or analysis with one comment written as if you've had some kind of
overwhelming revelation.
It may not be correct to write this, but there are perfectly
safe levels of all drugs, legal and illegal. You can soothe pain with
aspirin or you die from taking too much aspirin. You can get a rush from a
drop of heroin heated in a spoon or you can die from too much heroin heated
in a spoon.
Yes, there are mild and realistic levels of heroin injection
and people do it all the time, and they do not die. You die because you
overdosed on the heroin. You took to much, or you took too much over an
extended period of time.
One roadblock to solving the addiction problem is people who make comments such as he didn't overdose. The only way to solve the addiction problem is to discuss all aspects of it. For a country built on a willingness to talk, Americans are ridiculously averse to really getting into the nitty gritty and discussing all aspects of a subject such as heroin and other illegal drugs. Americans act the same silly way about sex.
Nitpicking over a definition of the word overdose is not the way to approach a solution to something serious. Philip Seymour Hoffman was a junkie. And he was a junkie who went too far. He overdosed.
