> I think "accidental overdose" sounds a little *factitious*. Accidental? Does that mean someone confused his normal dosage of 1 pill/day with 10 pills/hour by accident?
I think it all depends on if they are shooting morphine or taking it in some pill form, I didn't think you could take morphine in pill form, but I could be wrong...
I think it is very easy to overdose on injected drugs... In fact, just yesterday a friend mentioned that a mutual aquaintance of ours had overdosed on morphine... Her friend and her took the same amount, he woke up, she didnt...
I think speaking from experience, you can be in a state where you want to take as much as you possibly can to take you to the limit, but not over it, you aren't necisarily secretly wishing to die... you just want to feel good for as long as possible... the pathology of drug abuse is not directly tied to suicide, but i do think it is directly tied to underlying depression...
my 2cents...
