You can help unintentional fentanyl poisoning victims without legalizing fentanyl to the general public. I don't see how that's related to fentanyl's supply chain, the supply chain is tightly regulated but enough is already available for medical use. Treating fentanyl poisoning and rehab definitely counts as medical use. I'd prefer general/leisure use bans on fentanyl and an extensive crackdown on illicit fentanyl distribution. Drug crackdowns on relatively harmless drugs like marijuana are severely hampered by public opposition to it and partly racist motivations: a lot of people will either not cooperate or fight back against the immorality of discriminatorily punishing the possession of a harmless drug. That doesn't really happen for crackdowns on less morally ambiguous crackdowns like human trafficking or meth or barbiturates. People believe they are dangerous because they are actually very dangerous and it's not difficult to understand why. It doesn't suffer from a crisis of legitimacy that is critical to government power. The wrong message to take away from the failed war on marijuana is that the government cannot enforce any significant restrictions on substances.
