haha Cletus sums it up.

I feel bad for his partner, kids and his dealer. The man himself? No big loss when you have the world at your feet and die with a needle in your arm.

Fairly harsh way to look at things I'd say Candy. Guy was obviously addicted and it's extremely hard to lose that addiction. I do feel bad for his partner and kids but to say it wasn't a big loss because of the way he died is in poor taste IMO.
Anyway, sad loss and honestly we lost one of the great actors of the modern era. Thoughts go to his family and friends. Tragic.

No sympathy here either. He's had a better life than most and he pissed it away. How could you be jabbing yourself with needles when you have kids? What a selfish shitcunt.

Heroin really needs to be regulated for quality control.

100% correct. Nothing harsh about it at all. Shitcunt dies in shitcunt manner. Appropriate.

We don't know him and there's more to happiness than material possessions and net worth. Itch is correct, decriminalise and regulate recreational drugs.

Will that really help? Look at how many people drink way too much (to the point of death) despite it being 'regulated'?

Heroin is not on the same scale as alcohol. Not all drugs are created equal.

Yeah it's absolute bullshit. Regulation may prevent deaths related to bad batches of the drug, but you'll get more from overdose. Heroine is a drug that you never want to be legal and available to the community.

On the side of the bottle it says '1.6 standard drinks' just so Joe knows he can have 2 in the first hour, 1 in the second. And still drive home!

A fine actor though? Fuckit let him get a random strength of heroin, that'll learn him.

Drug use is it's own deterrent. It's the reward and punishment all rolled into one.

Binge users are binge users. Alcohol regulation means the concentration of drinks consumed is known (spiking notwithstanding). I doubt PSH was looking to check out. Functioning heroin addict/user who loaded up his usual dose and died due to an unexpected concentration. That wouldn't happen with regulation.

Madmya methamphetamine is a more prevalent destroyer of people than herion these days.

I didn't know that and I wouldn't have expected it either. It doesn't clear up my perception of heroin though. I firmly believe there'd be more deaths if heroin were freely available though. People can't manage their alcohol, what makes people think they'd suddenly manage their heroin dose?

If only we had regulated heroin and made it more available to people so this one guy didn't die.

Do you think we should regulate meth as well or as long as something is recreational it's fine?

I am skeptical it was as simple as 'this is the exact amount of heroin I like, this will not kill me'. Like most people, I enjoy altering my brain chemistry, and I also know that sometimes exuberance or misjudging the situation gets the better of you. Heroin seems to be something that is particularly easy to misjudge or get fucked by; surely even more of a reason not to allow it.

We can't even sell panadeine over the counter without people abusing it, what hope does heroin have as a legal or semi-legal drug?

It was prescription oxycontin (time release heroin) that revived his habit. That's regulated. Why do they put the MG amount on the blister pack?

Alcohol's the only thing that needs regulating.

You can have a big night or a big week on alcohol and come out of it not addicted. I am certain the same can't be said for heroin.

Really? So it's not stupidly addictive? That's just the impression I was under, you and pep seem a lot more well versed in the drugs scene than I am.
