At least fentanyl is something actually worth fighting. Unlike the countless number of people pointlessly put in jail for marijuana related “crimes”.

yea thats true. Fentanyl cannot even be touched without risk of death. There were police who had to he hit with narcan when they came near fentanyl. Its closer to a poison like cyanide than a drug.

maybe not through touch, but being in close proximity is deadly. Officer opened a bag of fentanyl and needed to use narcan so she wouldn't die. https://www.kktv.com/2022/12/15/graphic-police-help-save-off...
