Never fear! Here's the latest Demon Drug, which we can use to whip up popular support for another round of failed prohibition-mentality policies. No need to worry about budget cuts, reduction in the availability of military weapons, drones, etc. to law enforcement. There will still be a viable career in persecuting some of the most vulnerable members of society.
Those in favour of harm minimisation need to fight for legalisation, or at the very least decriminalisation as a strating point. Not just for _their_ favourite drug, but for those causing the most harm right now.
