It is almost impossible to overdose on valium unless mixed with alcohol and/or other drugs. In fact, with only valium, it would take around 1,000 times the normal prescribed dosage. The danger with snorting heroin is that the effects are slower, so a naive user might double dose if no initial rush
Modern Benzos like XANAX where found in the dead bodies of: Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, Andy Irons + + + + + + + + + + +
In a deadly cocktail of course ... and always with alcohol.
I don't think those are fair comparisons.
- Winehouse's blood alcohol content was 416 mg per 100 ml (0.416%) at the time of her death, and she suffered from bulimia which probably didn't help.
- The cause of Houston's death was drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use". Toxicology results revealed additional drugs in her system: diphenhydramine, alprazolam, cannabis and cyclobenzaprine.
- Michael Jackson had too many drugs in his system to mention, but the most significant drug being the anesthetic propofol ("milk of amnesia")
