I just read that story too and being honest, I've never been a Slipknot fan, but these stories are always sad - I wish his family peace in this difficult time. He chased a greater high and he lost. It's only a matter of time with drugs like morphine and fentanyl that your body becomes accustom to a particular dosage and you find yourself taking more and more to get the same high or in a non-addicts case, the same pain relief. Unfortunately with the addict, your body stops telling you that it's too much and you eventually reach the tipping point where you are willing to take more than your body can handle and in the case with opiates, your respiration go so low that you die.
I'm not being preachy about drug use, as I've done some stupid shit in my life. I'm just fortunate enough to have never become and addict, these things are most likely the result of a predisposed physiology towards addiction, and I'm fortunate to not have that predisposition. I truly feel for those that are predisposed to addiction and it is something to watch for in family and friends because as shown in the case of Paul, one overdose can be one too many and a loved one is lost.
As I said above, I'm the last person to question anyone's choices in life and I'm not one of those anti-drug people as that is a personal issue and to each his own as each of us suffers from our wrong choices and benefits from the correct ones we make, but I do hope Paul's pain is gone and that his family will survive this loss and never experience this type of loss again.
RIP Paul.
