Death comes from _mis_use, which usually stems from _mis_information ("drugs are bad, let's not talk about them").

People die when they over-dose (which more often than not happens because they don't know exactly what they're getting, or the purity of it) or mix with other substances that they shouldn't.

Another common cause of overdoses which stems from a lack of education:

A person quits for a while, decides to start using again and shoots up their usual dose for which they no longer have sufficient tolerance.

If that person knew that this is a common way people end up killing themselves, they probably wouldn't make this mistake.
