I think OD’s come from a number of factors, but mainly a combination of the desire for intensity plus lack of knowledge around pharmacology of the substance.
The people I’ve seen die were the ones that liked to push it to the edge. (Granted this was back before fent dope was as common as street corner crack.) Each high had yo be just as good or better than the last.
They also seemed less aware of the overall possibilities and effects that can happen. Or maybe aware but in denial.
I was always a maintenance type user, to alleviate my “symptoms” which back then was extreme anxiety, nausea, etc.. Even IV I’d shoot amounts that would keep me functioning but not in pain. I also never got close to overdosing in my years using drugs.
