The RIP thread...

I know a lot of you don't have access to The R.I.P. Thread, but aNeway2sayHooray joined the list yesterday of "an apparent overdose".
Ironically, his last post was in the RIP thread less than 3 weeks ago.

A guy at the gym was telling me about his friend who just died of cancer. His friend had major back surgeries which required pain meds, and he told him he was glad he got the cancer because the meds were a total nightmare and he wanted to die. Opiates are evil as hell, and especially if you're immobile and can't get around and it's your only escape.

All I'll say on this before it gets hugely derailed and flaming starts, you are correct that a substance itself cannot be either good or bad.
However, when humans use opiates it changes their brain chemistry or something and makes them much, much more self centered and blind. People who used to be trustworthy or generous, or (insert positive term here) lose that stuff.
Quick.

True. I guess it's difficult for those with an addictive personality to see it from that different perspective. It's one helluva deadly love/hate relationship.

He was 28. I remember when he turned 27, joking about being in the 27 club. He missed it by a year.
I really want to contact his family but i dont think they were the most fond of me. Id love it if i could take his plants (i know hes got a psychotria he's had since before we were together) and some of his books, I know id cherish them more than anyone else. Not sure if i have the balls to contact them for that though. Definitely want to send condolences though, we were all in it together.
Still cant believe this. Besides the addiction, he was one of the best people ive ever known. And that's the only thing that kept us apart.
May i ask who it was who found out and how they found out? You can PM me if you like. Thanks.

How often do people die from ODing on any other drugs than opiates? you can pretty much assume that a fatal drug OD is opiate related. We don't have tens of thousands of cocaine, alcohol or RC deaths a year in the US like we do with heroin and pain pills.

While this is 100% true,
it still doesn't make a substance in and of itself, bad. More potential to be dangerous, but it needs a user to create issues.
cars don't crash themselves, guns don't shoot people, swords don't cut people, etc.
with that said, this is the biggest reason I've never tried a true opiate, and have no intentions to ever try one.
I have a bit of an addictive personality as it is, and I know this, so I'm extra cautious with what drugs I might try.

I didn't know who that user was but still I'm pretty shocked & kind of sad. It's weird when people from the shroomery die, I've read about others in the past. What a shitty way to go. By no means did I want someone to die from drugs but hopefully this will be a lesson for anyone here on the Shroomery who abuses opiates to stop before it's too late. You're almost garunteed to end up in jail or dead if you don't... over something as petty as getting high. It's simply not worth it.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, I wasn't talking about my personal opinion, nor was I talking about any specific drug in particular.
All I was doing was repeating something I heard, multiple times, I wasn't trying to push an agenda, I just thought the users had a right to know that there's a possibility that the data they're looking at could be incorrect, that's all.
Also, I know three people that passed from ODing, one from an RC, one from cocaine, and one from suspected heroin

I remember really liking his name and thinking it was pretty unique and rad.
I believe I googled it once and it's a song title or line or something. Regardless, he was a good member and it's fucking awful he's gone for good.
