I'm not usually preachy about what people decide to do in the privacy of their own home and I can't claim to be anything close to an angel, but we lost a truly awesome person over the weekend to a habit that none of us knew existed. It was an absolute shocker to everyone that knew him. In such a tight group of friends, it seemed impossible that nobody knew or saw the warning signs before it was too late. We held a tribute party/BBQ over the weekend, and the mixture of complete breakdowns and looks of sorrow are something I never want to witness again in my lifetime.

DO NOT FUCK WITH THIS DRUG.

RIP, Marshall. :beer:

Edit: Auggie, you can fix my spelling error in the title if you don't mind.

Sorry about your friend. I lost my older brother to that drug.

"Needle And The Damage Done" Neil Young

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

Was he drinking also? AFAIK, heroin is pretty hard to OD on. It's when you mix it with drugs and other alcohol that it really becomes deadly. See: Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, etc.

Not that I'm condoning heroin use, I was just curious.

My utmost condolences to the OP. :(

It's very easy to OD on heroin. That's how a dealer will get rid of a troublemaker. He gives him a hot batch, and if he doesn't get to the hospital on time, he'll be dead.

I'm sorry for your loss OP :'^(

Heroin use is easy to hide. Junky's look like everybody else.
