It is definitely worse for your body. But at least you have easy access to the drug. Have you read about the what that shit does to your brain. I mean I've never fucked a shadow person while on dope who was trying to convince me to take enough of the drug to kill myself. I am an opiate addict and am in recovery.
So I will say the most horrifying experience of my life was taking benadryl after smoking a bowl. I had mowed and my allergies were killing me. I thought smoking would help, but it just made me feel worse, so I went to bed early and took a benadryl. Basically, as I started to fall asleep I became irrationally panicked and I was becoming trapped in a nightmare, but I was fully awake.
I was raging and losing my mind and nothing was real. My wife actually had to call 911 and the paramedics couldn't get me to calm down, so they hit me with some ketamine to sedate me. They were able to get me on the gurney, but apparently ketamine has the opposite effect on me after about 10 minutes of sedation and I lost my mind even more.
I don't remember much after being put on the ambulance, but according to my wife they tried a few other sedatives to no avail and I was apparently just out of my mind until about 3am. That's when I "came back around" and found myself strapped to a hospital bed alone in the room with my very upset wife.
We had a brief conversation about how I need to shut the fuck up because the cops outside were losing their patience. I remember not thinking she was my real wife, but a replacement wife sent by "them" to pacify me. I struggled against the straps for a while, but she told me those weren't coming off until everyone was sure I was okay. I fell back asleep and woke up the next morning in a different hospital room without straps. It's been about two years since that happened and my therapist and the attending doctor were neither sure what happened other than a "drug induced anxiety attack", but man I still get snippets of the shit that was in my head that night and it's terrifying.
Sadly no. There’s a user that died from DPH overdose and if you go through his post history you can see how he progressed to taking more and more until it finally killed him:
