Really? Prohibition of fentanyl is most costly than the drug itself? Not to be hyperbolic, but that suggests what you’re saying isn’t true and it’s really a matter of degree. Should marijuana be encouraged for use in kindergartens? Of course not, clearly some restrictions make sense.

I don’t care if people use some drugs. I have some edibles of my own in my fridge right now. What I care about is normalizing vices and pretending like it’s just a matter of individual preference when it obviously affects the rest of society at large (and makes life worse).

I'm not any kind of proponent of hard drugs, but yes, I do think legalization and control of fentanyl would be much less costly then what we have going on now.

Not like we have done with cannabis though, that obviously would be a disaster.

But I do think some wise well regulated control and dosage with some form of monitoring or limitation would be very much less costly in terms of dollars, lives saved, health and social disruption.

Drugs being illegal and unregulated is the reason that there's fentanyl in the heroin supply and it's the reason that pills available to recreational users vary so widely in potency. Prohibition itself is the cause of overdose deaths
