Ok. So I've had more than a handful of friends and family OD on opiates. They were in accidents, got hooked on prescribed painkillers. Then they were for a while able to buy pills from "pain clinics" relatively cheap, safe, and pure opiates. THEN the pill mills got shut down. This didn't magically stop them from being dope fiends. It made them have to go for street versions. Heroin. Which is less safe and less pure. Then they started dying. You gotta explain to me how not having access to consistent doses that aren't cut with poison and are bought from legitimate businesses is somehow better than the alternative. The drug war is bullshit and it turns addicts into corpses.
