Question

Could someone take 3 Times the lethal amount of heroin in their bed room, then walk to their living room? This is for a school project. thanks again, all answers welcome!

Answer 1

NO!

Assuming the route of administration involved here is by INJECTION......When heroin is injected, peak levels in the brain occur within minutes. Soon after injection, heroin crosses the blood-brain barrier and the levels in the brain can rise so QUICKLY.

Abrupt entrance of heroin into brain tissue can possibly take place in a matter of 10 to 20 seconds after the usual intravenous injection.The maximum lethal dose (the highest dose of intravenous heroin a severe heroin addict can withstand without immediately collapsing into a coma and/or immediately dying) could had been administered midway the injection and had caused the effects.

It would be therefore impossible to think that a person can walk from the bedroom to the living room after injecting a triple of the lethal dose of heroin. Obviously, the injection process itself takes a considerable amount of time that the lethal effects of the drug possibly could had taken place while the needle is still in the injection site. The person could immediately be incapacitated or an instant death could possibly happen though death could be delayed. Remember that heroin which is converted into morphine after the intake ,depresses the central nervous sytem and breathing could stop that instant.

Answer 2

I bet it could happen. My dad's best friend blew off his own head with a shotgun, and walked from the living room to the backyard, and collapsed. Anything is possible.

Answer 3

no you wouldn't be able to stand at that point. You'd be passed out awaiting death.

Answer 5
