Is this possible? (opiates)

[puking]

Is it possible for a person who has a long-term opiate addiction to be able to take a large enough opiate dose to kill an opiate-naive person, while in this long-term addicted person the dose can barely stop his withdrawal symptoms? Let's consider both of them to have the same age, body weight and gender.

Definitely, I mean if ones tolerance was HUGE and the others was low? A dose little below the average dose for the long term user might not hit them but it could definitely effect the newbie.

Trying to explain this in a simple way lol

If the addict had a big enough tolerance, let's say for example even 150-200mgs of hydrocodone. If he took 65-75mgs might not hit them but that dose could kill an opiate naive person etc etc

well here if this helps you, i take OVER 600 mgs of either oxy or hydro whichever is in my hands, PER DOSE. that right there is enough to prolly kill 10 people...

Absolutely of course. Just look at a heavy heroin user who gets busted one day and goes to jail. When he gets out yay months later, he's probably gonna score, and he's probably gonna use the same dose he used to before he got busted; his tolerance would have been re-set back to the average non-opiate user, and that same dose is probably gonna kill him - it actually happens quite a lot.

Funnily enough though, if somebody is in extreme pain like from a disease or a serious accident, they can tolerate a hell of a lot more opiate than they'd be able to if they weren't in pain.
