Should really just start selling "Illegal Drugs" in standardized doses like alcohol and pharmaceuticals so people don't get surprised. Drug users may be rational but individual testing puts a huge burden on the consumer that many aren't going to want to pay for in the name of preventing a tail risk.

Yes. It can probably be demonstrated that the most dangerous things about many drugs are impurity, the people you buy them from, and the law enforcement consequences.

Training people how to use drugs in order to be allowed to purchase them and offering mental health services would be far less expensive to society.
