Are heroin overdoses the result of variability in purity of the product sold to consumers, or some other factor?
Because I’d expect most addicts to know their minimum required doses, due to cost pressures if nothing else.
That said, what can be done to limit the ODs? Distributing Naloxone to users won’t work; they’d be the last people to self-administer an antidote to an opiate high. Letting anyone else freely use the anti-opiate drugs on heroin abusers might help reduce OD deaths, but would also introduce a cruel marketplace for heroin sales after interrupted highs.

Potency, availability and affordability does not drive drug use.
Despair drives drug use.
People with hope, plans for a future and the feeling of life success don’t use drugs.
Progressive politics causes suicides and overdoses.
Affordable cigarettes were provided to American soldiers during WWII and the Korean conflict. Soldiers who thought they might be alive the day after tomorrow didn’t buy them.
