      Isn’t an opioid overdose a horrific, terrifying, slow and painful way to die?

      Killing someone isn’t a medical procedure. It’s the exact opposite. A more painless way to execute is by firing squad but that doesn’t give the veneer of humanity, it’s just blatantly killing someone.

        What? No, you feel better than you’ve imagined feeling and nod out and then stop breathing. It’s faster with more but I guarantee no one ODing on morphine is feeling remotely bad.

        Oh, I should also point out there are different kinds of opiates and opioids and your mileage will vary between, but I went with specifically morphine for a reason. Heroin is just morphine with greater bioavailibilty so you can just make that up with quantity as hospitals are wont to do for just normal anesthesia reasons.
