It's also the equivalent of 20 to 40 entire doses
One dose of fentanyl laced in other drugs is usually less than a single grain of sand
So 40mg is a fuck tonne of fentanyl to have on hand.
Usually users don't carry pure fentanyl around, it's already been laced into other drugs, so they maybe have a couple mg total on hand even for multiple peoples worth.
40mg is like an entire box of laced pills.
you don't fix that issue by jailing people anyways, but by making all substance use legal
Jailing people who lace drugs with fentanyl is reasonable, and people that aid in the distribution of laced drugs with it.
I dont think people who take the drugs deserve punishment, but the people pushing the drugs do.
The odds of someone having a whole fuckin 40mg of fentanyl on hand and not be involved in the drug pushing is very low, people dont realize that you dont move it around like that.
A person would be in possession of like an entire fuckin pack of pills to have that much, because there's like maybe tops 1mg per pill.
Pierre is cheering for this degree of being divorced from the reality of marginalized people. maybe don't victim blame substance users? most of the supply gets contaminated by the cartels. it's really simple, if you wanna fix that, you replace the dangerous supply with a safe supply and free drug testing centers
I know for someone who is not used to fentanyl, a very very low dose can kill them, but again:
Unless I'm misunderstanding the article here, they're talking about people who carry a SHITLOAD of fentanyl for personal use.
