Somebody who's had Chipotle's red tomatillo, Popeye's ghost pepper wings, whatever Panda Express maxes out at if they even try, etc., might think that spicy is a slight tongue tingle and they're up for whatever the next company throws at them. Not entirely unlike kids who realize that DARE lied to them about weed and figure heroin's probably safe, too.
No, the point is the danger of calling safe things dangerous or, in this case, mild things spicy. Kids smoke pot, realize it's harmless and figure other drugs they've been warned about are also harmless, then end up ODing. The analogy is limited in that It's harder to make that leap from allegedly "spicy" food to things that can seriously fuck you up or even maybe kill you, but this kid did.
that's not even a treat it's volunterily undergoing torture to prove you're tough what the fuck

Wait a moment. Is heroin actually safe or am I too drunk and tired to get the irony?
Edit: ok I am too drunk and tired to get the irony. DON'T DO HEROIN KIDS!!!
Heroin is not safe.
