About 1 in 20 people who overdose die. Overdoses are both on purpose and by accident, because the user of heroin does not know what their dealer put in it, or laced it with, so if they don't know the purity of it. When people are high on it, they are more likely to make bad decisions without thinking which could result in death. After long term use of heroin many users die. Heroin users may also die because using it causes slowed breathing, which may lead to death.]]> 2022-11-21 16:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cmmolnar26_2/s81rnxp83bu5ile8/wish/2392912363 Is it addictive? cmmolnar26_2 https://padlet.com/cmmolnar26_2/s81rnxp83bu5ile8/wish/2392912703 Heroin is highly addictive.
