A lot of cops would explicitly and openly rather you just die from bad drugs. There are many that openly refuse to carry Narcan, because a human life second(or twentieth) chance is apparently not worth $25 to them.
The official policy of the united states government during prohibition for example was to poison thousands of US citizens for daring to consume a prohibited substance. People died because of it.
I don't understand that level of complete lack of empathy.

- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoWhere I live we're on a "meh, decriminalize posession" kick (most recently: psilocybin & dmt) so that's probably biasing my view, but the cops I know are too lazy to care about busting people for possession. If you can synthesize/extract it without creating a public health hazard, and if you're not part of something violent, or selling to kids, then you're probably not worth their time. Maybe I'd feel differently if I were in a different demographic.

- loeg 3y agoI think that's very true where I live, too, even if we haven't literally decriminalized the more esoteric drugs. That said, if you're breaking another crime and also have drugs on you, I doubt those same cops would think twice about adding it on as an extra charge. Don't make trouble or "do crimes while you're doing crimes" and it's probably not a big issue.
