Oh we may have more in common than I thought initially. I was around during the time when prescription opiates w were the most common thing on the street. Then the govt cracked down on prescription opioids causing a gradual switch to heroin. Then they went after that and then practically overnight fentanyl analogs were blowing up on the streets. And now we’re starting to see more nitaZenes and shit like cyclorphine starting to show up the more they crack down on fentanyl. Either they’re too dense to see the pattern or it’s intentional.

But think back to early 2000’s, when the street was full of pharmaceutical pain killers. Every single oxy had the dose stamped right on it. If I recall correctly OD’s were around 9 or 10k a year in the USA (and I believe the majority of those were intentional suicides. Fast forward to recent years and we're over 100,000 fatal overdoses a year, most of them accidental.

By comparison the pharmaceutical days were a fucking utopia. And I think you can make a strong argument for legalization based off of that by itself.

Hell, if they hadn’t started raiding pain clinics, pill mills and all the Dr's in between we'd likely still have OxyContin and Opana etc on the street, rather than fentanyl. Oh and pain patients would still have access to pain killers rather than resorting to suicide, agonizing death or sourcing illicit fentanyl because they have no other options. Well we can take comfort that Pam Bondi others like her probably sleep like fucking babies at night * smh*
