@hfaust I know it's not a popular opinion, but I tend to be indifferent to deaths due to drugs. I can sympathize with someone getting addicted to things like morphine or oxycodone and other prescription drugs after an accident or the like, but I could never sympathize with people who get addicted and abuse recreational drugs. (there are a few exceptions like prostitutes being given drugs to keep them tame, but that's a minority) No one forces you to take them, nor are they necessary or useful for anything, so someone overdosing is just as sad to me as some kid losing a tooth because he wanted to brag and do a skate trick with his eyes closed. If you do something reckless and stupid and get hurt, it's no tragedy.
