You can even OD on a known amount of the drug just by being in a different setting. Throughout my time in rehab facilities, I've met many heroin addicts with horrible stories of people close to them dying. It's a hard drug to use safely even if you know exactly how much and what you are getting, mostly because respiratory depressants cause problems when used in conjunction with so many other drugs, but also because in a heavy user, active dose over lethal dose is damn near 1:1.
