I know the war on drugs has been a total failure, but we HAVE to do something to get this stuff off the streets. Im all for drug reform and reduction of penalties etc etc etc and see the problems, but they need to make being caught with (pure) fentanyl penalties so severe nobody will use it to cut drugs with it anymore. Dont punish the users who have drugs cut with it, but if you get caught with it pure and are using it to cut drugs throw away the key. People who are cutting anything with fentanyl are killing people for profit, its not even up to debate anymore there are SOOOOOO many overdoses becasue of it now.
All true. Through recovery I became acquainted with many many casualties to it. I stopped counting at 15 and a handful I had become very close to. Great people when sober. All walks of life - one good friend was from a well to do family and got addicted to pills he was buying on the street until one day his dealer said it wasn’t pills he had that day. As far as I could tell he was trying to get clean but guys always think they will be able to go back and “dable” when in fact it’s those dables after long layoffs that are most dangerous
