I agree with you brother, were saying the same thingThe number of people who suffered fatal overdoses from oxycodone at the height of the original opioid epidemic were a fraction of the number dying now from fentanyl. Nobody (or practically nobody) prefers fent to oxycodone or heroin, if they had those on hand. Both have the benefit of a long history with extensive knowledge about their respective properties, both positive and negative. Such a solution ("omg, then people will be allowed to get high! Getting high represents a moral failing! oh noooooo"), while it would result in less lives being lost and would save quite a bit of money if done right, amounts to a symbolic "surrender" for the diseased minds of the prohibitionists, though, so I"m not holding out much hope for that
Fentany is not a research chemical.thats kinda what landed us in this situation isn't it? Making a super highly addictive compound so readily available in the first place? Most people I know didn't start with H they started with Oxy then H......
BUT NONE THE LESS, I do agree with you ass th damage is done and the only recourse is to handle the situation at hand which is the majority of opiates out there are RC's and the risk of dying is so great that giving people who are heavy addicts the ability to wean off themselves or with pharmacy assistance is a great answer. But how many junkies go and sell those pills go grab the fent?
