If that were only true. Many families of users are destroyed by the addictions, whether the parents or the children. It's certainly a lifestyle that is hard for most to maintain, with stealing or dealing to support the habit. You may live in your own world, as many users do, but somewhere there are probably family, friends and co-workers, that have been left behind. If you've ODed, you've used EMS & hospitals, usually without the ability to pay for the rescue. The cost to sociey is enormous.
Would legalization solve the problem? It would make drugs cheaper for you, and reduce the costs of the criminal justice system. Still, alcohol is legal, and its abuse costs society a lot of tax dollars, as well.
Legalization truly is the only logical answer. Overdoses are treated by EMS, etc with an inexpensive drug known as Narcan. It is also a very good idea for those who choose this lifestyle to keep a bottle of the stuff handy, as it can save a life.
Perhaps, in a libertarian world. Some people believe the same about firearms.

But if neither Narcan nor Naloxone helps? Then i guess there's only one option left. Adrenaline shot to the heart.
It can happen to anyone--sometimes you miscalculate and go out.
"More than once" is too many. Certainly not "responsible". IMO.
Spoke with a lady today, whose son "discretely" ODed & died in her basement recently. Took his gf along to the next world. Left her baby behind. Quite the emotional scene at the house, according to the body removal guy.
