Not exactly speaking from experience, but overdoses on illicit drugs can sometimes be extremely painful and/or slow ways to die. There’s also the moral and practical issues of having the drugs available near a prison and that it would not stand to logical reason for a law to ban their public use and distribution, yet allow their use for executions. Lethal injections are intended to be quick and humane, without the subject feeling a thing beyond the needle itself.
