Today, I learned that when you are a diabetic cocaine addict (Great combination there, sir! How’s that workin’ out for ya?), you should not dissolve a large amount of coke in tap water, mix it with meth, and inject it into your eyeball with the needle you use to skin-pop your insulin. Turns out this will kill you.
