There is a subreddit called /r/MuseumOfReddit that is "dedicated to cataloguing the posts and comments that will go down in reddit history."

One of the more chilling posts on there[1] is the account of a user who randomly tried Heroin one day, got addicted within 2 weeks, overdosed and was clinically dead within a month, got revived and admitted, came clean, then posted an update to his story 7 years later.

I would personally suggest trying meditation first before trying opioids to alter consciousness and feel euphoric.

I'm reading Freud book "civilization and it's discontent" and he says that some people can experience what others experience with substances, only by yoga and meditation. I'm really curious cause I have only done "simple yoga" and simple meditation like just breathing exercises.

Fake story -- that's way too fast.

You're correct, he actually overdosed roughly a year after his first use of heroin, not a month like I remembered:

>I overdosed on a combination of (mostly) fentanyl, plus I had a lot of diphenhydramine, pregabalin, temezepam, and maybe some lingering oxymorphone in my system. I stopped breathing with several fentanyl patches in my mouth (they were previously used and I thought they had much less left in them) partially blocking my airway and would have been dead dead if I was found 10 minutes later according to EMS. It took multiple shots of Narcan to revive me.
