I have always been given to understand that other than massive overdoses, far more prevalent are deaths due to impurities, Or stepping on it, as I believe Cassandra phrased it, by adding a foreign substance in order to increase the salable quantity. Generally this isn't done for profit but rather to make up for personal usage. Which is generally a losing proposition: just a little more fer me ...

Once upon a when I sold coke for a short while. Our product was very popular as we didn't use or cut the stuff. It was nonetheless profitable, but f&%^%&% cokeheads are just infantile "I need it now" twits. Watching em was reason enough not to use that garbage, and the reason we quit selling it, as in not wanting to bare responsibility for contributing to their devolution. You could literally see the correlation between usage frequency and physical degradation.

I use to have a, "only dopes do dope", t-shirt as a kid, LOL.

So don't be fooled Brad.
