A doctor intentionally overdosed himself on cocaine just to write down the last minute experience of the drug before death.

@ecksmc That's whacked!
@ecksmc Yeah super common way to document/experiment with ancient Chinese herbalists and physicians - often the most senior student would complete the notes and take a lesser dose. I read one where 3 - the master and 2 students, all died taking smaller and smaller doses of a poison/medicinal.
@code yeah i have read about that
