Granted, a fair number of people probably have them and don't know, as was teh case with him, so it's not inherently a 100% safe drug, but it's relatively safe in terms of chances of an OD death from it.

Probably a very high % of what are called Coke OD's involved a ton of alcohol as well ... coke makes you not perceive alcohol's effects nearly as strongly ... but it's still doing what it does whether you feel it as much or not.
