After talking to a recovering addict regarding heroin, fentanyl and the such. I did some research and found I could get half a kilo of iso (stronger than fentanyl) by the end of the week. It took me 20 minutes
My point is that stuff is so widely available and easily accessible that no sort of enforcement against the higher ups will do a damn thing
Treating the addict with compassion and diligence will be far more effective than attempting to dry up the supply. It of course won't be easy and actually will require a mental shift regarding users
Instead of headlines of law enforcement patting themselves on the back about some meaningless bust
- snek_case 5y agoPotentially we could decriminalize consumption, open treatment centers, but still go after the traffickers. People who sell fentanyl know that they are killing people.
- giantg2 5y agoI think this is a great option. It seems quite a few people opposed to decriminalization don't realize that it typically means decriminalization of personal amounts, but still going after the dealers.
- giantg2 5y agoI think it's most effective to prevent them from becoming addicts by addressing the hopelessness that drives so many to that (or crime). And through education of the effects for the others, of course.
- spoonjim 5y agoThe US has never tried hardcore drug enforcement against drug dealers (i.e, execution, as many other countries do). It would categorically not solve drug addiction as a whole but it would likely have some effect.
