Legalize it in what manner? Fentanyl is legal - it’s used by hospitals all over the country. Should you be able to buy opium at the corner store? I’m not sure that would be good for almost anyone given the dependence you build on it very quickly.

What’s the Bull case for more people having easy access to opium products ?

The pragmatic argument is to have a regulated and legally accountable supply chain that results in predictable dosing with known substances and amounts. How many people are overdosing on known good prescription pain pills compared to random shit mixed by street dealers?
