no one would take too much Tylenol unless they were suicidal,

"What are the most common poisons for adults? Pain medicines (analgesics) which can be over-the-counter, prescribed, or illegal. Examples include aspirin, oxycodone, acetaminophen, methadone, and ibuprofin." - http://www.aapcc.org/dnn/PoisoningPrevention/FAQ.aspx

Yes, like I said, suicidal. Hell I’ll add stupid too.

Adding stupid contradicts your earlier claim, "no one would take too much Tylenol unless they were suicidal".

Ok, I get it you want easy to access legal recreational drugs...

I want an end to the costly and futile War On Drugs whose only accomplishments are increasing addicts' motivation to commit theft and channeling inflated profits into criminal hands.

Fortunately society is still sane about that...

Society is currently sane about the easy to access legal recreational drug alcohol - and by 50% to 46% Americans favor legalizing marijuana.

but losing control on heroin can cause you to tox up to a lethal amount without even knowing it...

A major cause of heroin OD is variable potency, which could be eliminated with legalization and regulation.

Ok, I will keep playing, just for a bit.

So exactly how would a sane adult, following directions, poison themselves on Tylenol?

And exactly how does stupid contradict suicidal? It's additive if nothing else. Either you are suicidal and take an purposeful over dose or are a moron and cant follow directions, which would be a stretch but I add it to cover the possible bases. Most sane folk, even of debatable smarts know to take two pills.

And while I will defer to you expertise on heroin though I have heard that before and will concur, let us assume a pure regulated (oops) heroin is produced. It, as well as others, is still a mind altering drug that cause the user to lose the ability to control themselves, drop from reality and indeed invokes a desire for more of the drug starting a cyclical spin into overdose So what is going to control that. Remember we are dealing with a wholly different set of drugs, not pharmaceutical, but recreational. And yes, there are addictive prescription drugs but lets stay in reality here. Recreationals have a wholly other purpose and intent and are designed to alter minds and reasoning.
