But inevitably they would have a backsliding moment when they would decide to do it "one more time" for fun.
Then they would take the same dosage they did before.
Only now their bodies no longer had the tolerance for it and they overdosed. 
He said he was always real careful to never do that during the numerous times he cleaned up over the years. But friends of his like Gram Parsons weren't so careful and died. |
as long as you have money and a good source you can take H for years and still look/behave like a normal person. and i am sure Keith Richards had enough money to buy clean stuff (even though he will never look like a normal person)
the problem usually starts when you dont have money and you buy crap that has all kinds of stuff mixed in there - up to rat poison and similar
thats when you body starts falling apart - and thats when you risk OD cause you dont have any idea anymore how much H is really in there. suddenly you get clean stuff "by accident" and you're done.
