From what I understand, their biggest business are the customers who have the highest tolerance. So those dealers that sell stronger drugs get more customers. If they kill a few people with lower tolerances along the way, it is a side effect of maintaining their usual customer base.

I think it's also because fentanyl is cheap. Once there was a crack down on opioids, dealers started using fentanyl to make fake pills and they sometimes screw up the ratio.

Genuine question: do you think harsher penalties for distributing would do anything? Or is the horse too far out of the barn?

Personally I don't think harsher sentences would do anything (unless we're talking un-American penalties, which are out of the question, obviously.) On the flip side, I don't think decriminalization would have a huge impact either (I used to think this was the solution when I was a baby attorney.) Most users are people suffering from addiction, homelessness, mental health issues, and other such deep-rooted, difficult to solve problems. They are ridiculously, painfully young. They are (to my understanding) not at a place where they appreciate/care about the repercussions of their criminal records. Both the sellers and the users need the high. They don't care about the conviction. It's all really very sad. And we keep burning money to do busy work supposedly fighting drugs.

Such a profoundly ignorant statement.

You may think it's ignorant but it is a true statement. Poke a rattlesnake and you have a 100% chance of being bit
Take illegal drugs and you have a 100% chance of dying.

I don’t think you have a good handle on percentages

I think they meant a high probability of dying. You get the point.

Well they said if you take an "illegal" drug 1 time you are 100% going to die. I don't think you can make any valid point with such a ridiculous statement.

I know what they said. You are rehashing this again. Again, they likely didn’t mean that. They probably mean highly likely. And again, you get the point.
You wouldn’t get the point only if you are just plain stupid.

Different poster who was backing up how ridiculous of a statement it was. And also "highly likely" proves YOU do not get the point. Plenty of people taking all sorts of drugs "legal" & "illegal" living fulfilling lives.

Okay, druggie.

So, no risk with dying by doing drugs.
PSA- Say yes to drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PP says people who are abusing drugs are living fulfilling lives.

PP didn’t say no risk. Of course most people taking illegal drugs don’t die.

There are always more customers. It's a cost of doing business.

Also, local dealers likely have zero idea what is in the product they are selling.

It's not an overdose. It's a poisoning.

People are being poisoned by fentanyl. They aren't ingesting it on purpose and just taking too much.

Taking too much is an overdose. Taking illegal drugs is willingly poisoning oneself so you cannot call it that as if user want aware.

Huh? Something like 95% of fentanyl comes through legal ports of entry carried by American smugglers.

Partying in 2024 isn’t like 2004, 94 or 84 people!

Please tell your kids to only stick to alcohol or pot from reputable sources if they can’t control themselves.

Pot can be laced with fentanyl.

Not cannabis purchased from a licensed and regulated dispensary.

Dispensary marijuana is the safest option for college aged students looking to experiment with mind altering substances. The risks are very low compared to any other substance.

Alcohol is not really safe because young people typically drink to excess and there are a great many alcohol poisoning deaths every year among the age group.

I think this is true to avoid Fentanyl, but I read an article the other day about marijuana use and mental health disorders and the concerns around the increasing (and unregulated) amount of THC in dispensary marijuana.

This is not your father’s (or even your) “harmless” marijuana. I have a friend whose son had a psychiatric break after smoking pot and was never the same. He committed suicide.

Nope. Don't take street drugs at all. My friend od'd because they laced the joints. Only buy from dispenseries. Get your kids MM cards in their college state if you have to. No street drugs at all

This just happened to one of my son's friends. He was only 20. The weed he bought was laced.

The only thing that’s going to work is a huge societal shift in our attitudes toward drug use. Maybe it starts with Gen Alpha, the current elementary school and younger kids. They’ve never lived at a time when the illegal drug pool wasn’t poisoned by fentanyl/tranq/etc. They’re also too young to have experienced the legal opioids/prescription painkillers > heroin pipeline.

After birth control came about but before the AIDS crisis started, people weren’t engaging in safe sex. Now it’s pretty much a norm to use condoms.
