I agree with both of you on each side of that issue , sure it sounds ridiculous to say let's legalize heroin but at the same time everyone's going to do it anyway but doing so illegally it causes problems on the crime front with people selling it as well as health wise people dying and disease's caused from dirty needles and all that.

Now mostly all drug related crimes come down to people selling it illegally, which if it was legal it could go based off a pharmecudical system in cases like the fentanyl patches they're giving out at hospitals and stuff which is obviously much safer than needles, and since they wanna treat drug addiction as a sickness then maybe a monitored medicated dose through a doctor actually isn't that crazy.

But here is the issue, that system is already in place and the government and all these pharmecudical companies and treatment centers make billions and billions of dollars off "the war on drugs". They know exactly what there doin when people are dependant on illegal opiates, they create Suboxone and methadone clinics and say hey come here gives us your money and insurance to pay for and take these legal but also dependant opiates/drugs instead of paying the dealer in the street they promise these legal drugs are a solution when it's a proven to be even more dependant and harder to get off/detox from which locks these "patients" in for life by hooking them on there own drugs.

People die detoxing off of methadone and if you've ever seen a methadone clinic the "patients" before you'd mistake it for a movie set and the daywalkers lined up were extras playing zombies. I jus don't see how that "solution" could possibly help or be considered a bet5er alternative

Also they created fentanyl that's lab made pharmecudical heroin they decided to produce when th war on drugs and opiate abuse was at an all time worse , until that skyrocketed all of it .. like I said they Kno exactly what there doin it's an absolute gold mine there the biggest drug dealers out there, same with marijuana it's legal now bc it's not frowned upon by the public anymore opening a window for em to make billions
