  The worry is people relying on someone else with a title to make decisions who only have a fraction of information but people give themselves permission to turn off critical thinking. Getting from a park or alley people means you need to take responsibility because no one is looking out for you. In a store setting or expert setting many will blindly accept instructions designed for the average because someone sounds official (even if official is just trying to sell more product)

    This sounds logic on paper, but in reality is flawed: in an alley you almost never know what are you putting in your body, and you never can really make an informed and critical decision. Alley drugs addicts are 100% deprived of critical thinking, and they will not only blindly accept instructions from other drug addicts but trust that powder they are injecting is actually a non lethal dose of the expected substance. The only real decission you can make is "I'm not putting that in me". At least when a drug is legalized you can start at the point of "this is a 50 miligram dose of 99.9% pure heroin, not laced with fentanyl or rat poison, and I've used this before, so this should be safe for me".
