Yep. The fentanyl crisis was directly caused by the "war on drugs".
Prohibition creates economic incentives to create cheaper substitutes. These substitutes cause more harm than the original substance.
During alcohol prohibition, methanol was used.
Pressure on MDMA precursor chemicals has led to many more dangerous substitutes like TFMPP/BZP.
I wish we could have fact-based policy, and not just with regards to drugs.
