It's as though people don't see the common pattern with alcohol prohibition. The thing about opioids is that they can become a lot more potent than ethanol, just look at carfentanil and know that it's probably possible to make something even more potent. I would much rather everyone have access to heroin, than have everyone encouraged to produce smuggle ever more miniaturized and potent drugs, through ever more corrupting and sadistic criminal enterprises.
