I don't get your point. If we want to save lives, let's stop forcing people to buy drugs from black markets. Lives will be saved if people aren't forced to buy unknown drugs and essentially "guess" what the right dose might be. That's how most deaths from illegal drugs occur.

There is a separate issue of doctors over-prescribing dangerous drugs and people abusing those drugs. I think preventing those overdoses and deaths takes a totally different approach.

“Forced to buy”?

You understand what “addictive substances” means , right? Your solution to protecting a population from being hooked on drugs is . . . Give them more and without restriction?

Sometimes the naïveté in the tech community amazes me.

Pure fentanyl makes for quite an impure heroin.
