Can't say if it's not possible to stop, but sounds more like playing Russian roulette.
Yep - know a person who "did" heroin, tho was not knowingly or voluntary - more an attempted murder made to look like an overdose.
This was around 27 years ago and, apart from surviving, this caused severe problems and trauma trying to kick the habit. In effect what had happened is the "perp" had injected this shit and created a victim who was an addict instead of a killing.
Pleased to say the victim who is a friend, has done very well and survived. Although "clean" for over 21 years, she still considers herself as an "addict" and will always be that way. Another good result is that everyone who played a role, whether knowingly or not, got justice in the end and served jail time or were dealt with another way.
Only a clue Jarmusch - can say with 100% certainty, the victim in this case would tell you not to even think of touching the shit voluntarily. It can be a very painful and destructive path for many years ahead.
