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
