Street heroin is often cut with other depressants to make it stronger, so you probably couldn't take as much of that as you wanted, but pure heroin is very difficult to overdose on unless you take an obscene amount (upwards of a gram) - for opiate addicts, studies have been performed to suggest that individuals with an opiate tolerance simply aren't able to overdose on an opiate by itself; they will start having grand mal seizrues before they ever get to the point where they stop breathing.
