What's y'all thoughts on opioid overdose?

[cocobutter]

I've heard opioid overdose is peaceful and you don't feel anything, you just go in and out of consciousness until you the end and I've also heard that it feels good it's not only a peaceful death but also a blissful one.

Is it true and how does it works?

Yes, it's true but depends on what opioid though, netazenes, fentanyl?

It's true, it's just hard to do. You need a serious overdose to make it happen and opioids are notoriously hard to dose.

Do you mean hard to get it or hard to overdose on?

How come opioid overdose isn't one of the painless method talked about in here?

I imagine- done correctly, it probably would be peaceful. While it isn't spoken about, I imagine it does happen a lot in hospitals. People are kept on increasingly higher doses of morphine while being taken off of the other drugs keeping them alive. Many seem to drift in and out of sleep before they finally go. My Mum was actually given heroin at the end.

I imagine the tricky part is obtaining drugs of sufficient potency. Knowing the dose and administering it. I doubt many drug dealers would want to be selling lethal doses. That's not how they make their money.
