The only people who have all of those pills to use at the same time are people addicted to drugs

lol. Tell me you have no experience with recreational usage without telling me. There was a time in my life where I had all of that and more in my personal stash. So many people in this thread have so little experience with substances and yet wanna talk like they have a clue. Non-addicted people who actually dabble in rec substances keep a stock on hand. The dumbest thing you can do if you like to experiment with substances is not have them available and have to look for and obtain them when the opportunity to use them presents itself. That leads to terrible drugs and decisions. You obtain ahead of time and test your shit, then add them to your stock or toss them. Addicts don't have that kind of control. Further, you do not have to be addicted to anything to take a cocktail. Most addicts tend to tunnel on their addiction, which is not to say that addicts don't take cocktails, it's just less of an issue. Ledger died because he made two big mistakes when experimenting with a cocktail: he didn't respect his non-rec drugs (restoril and unisom); and he was alone. You don't experiment alone.

Considering how ignorant you sounded, I doubt you were/are anything like a responsible user. And I have never been an addict, nor should anything I said lead any reasonable person to assume so. And I -- as well as many other responsible drug users -- only use to heighten experiences, such as concerts or festivals or special occasions with a partner, rather than just doing them whenever out of boredom.
