If someone is completely benzed up and is in autopilot mode and the person decides to smoke a normal dose of opium, is it possible to overdose and subsequently die?
If someone smokes some opium in the morning, decides to have a few benzos in the evening, would they interfere with each other?
I wouldn't mix opium with benzos, but it'd be good to know. I'd like to hide other drugs i may have laying around while on benzos, problem is, what do i do to remember where i hid the stuff once i'm sober? I tend to munch on benzos like candy, i just get an urge to take more and more, idk why, i think this is quite common though. Anyone else get this? Does anyone know why?
Are hypnotics more dangerous than anxiolytics when combined with opiates?
 
In general, the mixing of powerful CNS depressants is not a wise decision. Substances with differing mechanisms of action are more likely to produce synergistic depressant effects.

So far as the mix of benzodiazepines and opioids, care must be taken to understand and mitigate the possibility I each agents depressant effects. Certain benzodiazepines are more likely to cause respiratory depression than others. Opium, being a natural product, will not be as easy to accurately dose with respect to the active agents present. High doses of morphine, the chief agent in opium, are known to to cause respiratory depression. This action combined with the depressant effects of benzodiazepines can potentially be very dangerous.

Strictly speaking, it is not a good combination. However, should the two be used together, great care should be taken in terms of dosage, and dose titration would be recommended until and after you know how your body reacts to the combination.
 
The benzo/opiate combo is one of the most fatal, so it's definitely not a good idea to mix them while all benzo'd out. I often wonder how many addicts die without even knowing it since they were blacked out on benzos when they decided to shoot some dope, or take a bunch of oxy, opium, morphine, or whatever other opiate/opioid they got their hands on.

The post above mine is correct and covered whatever else I would have said to answer your question.
 
I know it's dangerous, i would never mix the two, these questions just popped up in my head the other day.
 
So errm ... No one that could answer my second question?
'If someone smokes some opium in the morning, decides to have a few benzos in the evening, would they interfere with each other?' this one.
 
What do you mean by 'interfere' with one another? You'll probably feel more sedated from the benzo, but that's about it.
