    if you were able to take pharmaceutical grade morphine, just enough to get high everyday, it probably wouldn’t shorten your life very much.

      The problem is that you require increasing amounts to get high, making overdoses more likely.

        I thought the tolerance overdoses were mainly from stopping for an extended time then starting again without realizing the tolerance is significantly lower after the detox?
