Probably about the same. They they take low doses usually, only a a subset of users go on to take heroic doses and or IV. That's what makes it so dangerous, you are yo-yoing dosage trying to find that sweet spot, all it takes is one too large of a dose with a few drinks and you are night night forever, or choke on your own spit or vomit.
