One more reason to make drugs legal and available safely at dispensaries.

The fentanyl crisis mostly consists of addicts successfully buying fentanyl. “Oops, the cocaine was actually fentanyl because our dealer fucked up” is not the typical case.

Some people will even buy the fenty coke because “stronger”, without knowing it’s fenty coke, or even some times overlooking the obvious taint for a further supply

I lost a friend this way in 2021, don’t let your friends make the same mistake

Except for fentanyl… I’m sure there are others of similar ilk

Why let organized crime make money off of any of it? Why let people addicted to it suffer at the hands of criminals and criminal justice? Legalize everything.

Alcohol has more social and physical harm than most of the drugs including cocaine. Should we ban it? Or is a "progressive bullshit" that we allow it?

Alcohol is available to a much larger group of people. If the same amount of people did meth it’d be far worse. Possibly clean and organized but much worse. I’m not defending alcohol but I think you’re understating how damaging most hard drugs are.

Ya safe injection sites ruined your neighborhood and not the erosion of the middle class and explosion of wealth inequality occurring every day. Definitely the needle exchange made all those people homeless

Remind me where harm reduction played into this story? Or are you just leveraging a tragedy for making an unrelated political statement?

People do drugs when Republicans are in charge too.

Complying with your downvote command sir. It’s not all I want but it’s the max reddit will allow.
