Good for you! Just don't expect us to pay for your recovery if you fry your brain on it.

Hey, don't expect us to pay if you injure yourself doing anything voluntary and risky, like driving a car or eating rich foods.

While I appreciate your point (and don’t necessarily disagree with you) I suspect you are comparing death from overdose (relatively easily defined) rather than morbidity (very difficult to study in illegal drugs)
