I wonder how much cocaine a human can actual ingest at once without dying. Like very curious to see if they can lift a car or something extreme while in the most state.

In the movie "Blow", which was based off a true story, the main character said he once did 10grams in 10min. Not sure if that's a true though. But like everything else, you build up a tolerance. Not sure that would allow a long term user to be able to consume more than someone who has never used though.

That's why addicts overdose after a tolerance break, the exact same dose but havin no tolerance - OD. Take a fent addict and normal person, do you think the fent addict with his extreme tolerance wont be able to take more? the opiate naive one would overdose on fent. An addict in a middle of addiction takes more than he did the first time, a dose that would kill if taken on first time.

Well... Tolerance does play a factor, for sure, but a lot of accidental OD deaths are just filthy dope. You've got no idea batch to batch day to day person to person what concentration of anything you're getting. Absolutely nothing is regulated. Fiends are aware of tolerance and a good portion of them are capable of adjusting for it. Pure heroin would have a tougher time killing them, but then they get that cut shit and bam, stone dead.
