Poll question: How would you rather go? Drinking yourself to death, Morphine OD or Cocaine OD?
Drinking yourself to death takes a lot of hard work. Just see or read "Leaving Las Vegas" and you'll know.

Morphine is a different story altogether - but it can have its downside too...nothing like going into shock.

Cocaine, well, that just sounds fucking painful.

4. Cause of Death
Edited on Wed May-13-09 05:32 PM by datasuspect
Cerebral hemmorhage, acute cocaine toxicity, renal failure, and congestive heart failure.

then again, sticking a large caliber handgun in the old piehole and pulling a bud dwyer would be most effective.

with the methods you mention, there's a good chance they can bring you back.

5. Other: pass out/fall asleep on train tracks
Then a train comes, you can't wake up and BLAMMO. Chances are you wouldn't feel it.

You could linger.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Shaw


On 27 February 1989, Shaw was involved in an accident at the DeKalb subway station in Brooklyn, NY, in which his left arm was severed. The cause of the accident remains unclear, though Shaw had extremely poor eyesight, and allegedly had been suffering from medical and drug-related problems for many years.<2>

On 10 May 1989, Shaw died from kidney failure.

7. I think probably a lung embolism. I've heard from a good authority that that is a very
fast, painless way to die.

10. I'd like to go at the bottom of a pile of naked women.
Effed to death, if you will. Sure, it would traumatize the ladies a bit, but I'd be dead, so what would I care? :blush:

15. I'd probably only consider suicide
If I knew for certain I was going to die soon of something slow and painful, but I'd pick the morphine. Liver failure takes too long and hurts too much.

Of course, I'd probably choke on vomit like Jimi Hendrix, but then I'd be unconscious. Helluva mess for the medical examiner, but not nearly as untidy as blowing one's brains out.

17. Morphine, if done right,
seems like it would be perfectly pleasant way to die. Like, maybe we should have been equipped with something like a "deathbladder" that would release a lethal dose of morphine when all the wrong lights in our brain start flashing. God could have easily provided us with that.

I don't know what cocaine overdose does. Maybe you just claw at your face until you rip your brains out, I don't know, but it can't be a good death. And drinking yourself to death seems like death from massive loss of dignity, no thanks. Drunks are usually a drag and I can't imagine how annoying it would be putting up with one that was near death.x(
