I edited that out. Apparently most opiate related deaths during withdrawal are due to a person wanting 'one last hit', but choosing a dose that they no longer have the tolerance for.

A potent argument for legalization of opiates, IMO.

Something as simple as concentration percentages on packaging, as we have with booze, and smart usage pamphlets could save a lot of lives.

I don't disagree. I think Portugal's experiment has proven that decriminalization is the best path forward pretty conclusively.

This is a genuine question but legalization but still making kind of difficult to get or just all out legalization and selling it wherever?

Legalization along the lines of what we're currently doing with alcohol and tobacco.
