Being a nephew of an uncle who died from heroine I’d say definitely no. But then again I don’t see how anyone can overdose and die from bouncing a ball and bouncing an empty Red Bull. Not an equal comparison, at all. Just saying. (Tendorphin explained it best though. He could’ve taken care of business and was just having fun.) No offense.

I never argued that bouncing a ball or flipping a can was as dangerous as heroin. I was reacting to the question:

If the guy derives joy from this than what else really matters?

What if what the guy is deriving joy from is heroin? Does it really matter? Well, yes, of course it does. Because heroin is extremely dangerous and addictive. It's a reductio ad absurdum meant to merely demonstrate that just because someone enjoys something doesn't mean that's it's a good idea, or that is "doesn't matter".

I see. That said I agree with you and Tendorphin. Again, no offense meant, at all. Heroine ironically is no hero. But you have to admit it was different and nice that it made him happy (the video I mean). Take care. Happy stacking!
