Study Shows Selling Tested Drugs Saves Lives | The Tyee
Run by a compassion club, the initiative helps people avoid overdose by letting them know exactly what they’re taking.
A lot of people who are against drug use want them to be illegal and dangerous to use. Someone overdosing from buying drugs illegally is a preferable outcome for them because they think it will discourage people from buying illegal drugs.
They want the drugs to be both illegal and dangerous.
In reality making them legal and regulated decreases use and is safer for those that do, which doesn't work for people who think suffering is the goal.
It's horrible circular logic.
Q: why is the drug illegal?
A: because it's dangerous.Q: why is it dangerous?
A: because it's illegal.
Hmm, a guaranteed pure version of a drug that people will take anyway, in precisely known quantities, whilst raising revenue for the government (and forcing most drug dealers to change jobs)?
What a great idea. Watch it take off almost nowhere.
Yup, that almost makes too much sense to implement.
This is known for a long time, but the mindset ofntoo many is these people do not deserve to live, if they do or are something deviating from norms. It is about rare illnesses, neurodivergence and lifestyle choices and unfortunately everywhere.
That mindset comes from somewhere. Drug addicts make for an easy, politically expedient target. It doesn't just happen, and fighting that mindset means calling out the people creating scapegoats.
Here's the Canadian solution: how about we just not enforce existing drug laws, but also not spend money on safe supply or treatment.
That way all the crime happens where poor people live, and rich people can just pay less taxes! Win-win!
I'd like to see stats on how many samples tested positive for fentanyl and other deadly chemicals.
No shit fucking morons. Grow up. I have to watch these traps and killers profit off fiends all while useless cops watch them while the whole thing goes down. Fuck America all the way to hell and deeper.
This is really hard for me to get behind. On the one hand I can get behind the compassion and safety aspect. Addicts have a sickness and shouldn’t be treated as criminals who have no value and are disposable. On the other hand, I have personal experience with just how much damage an addict does to those around them. Enabling them to do that damage and victimize the very people who love and once trusted them with everything feels wrong.
I'm not convinced that safe and legal drug taking will enable addicts any more than they're already so.
Also there are many recreational drug takers who don't harm society.
1 gallon bag of cocaine please.
That'll be £230,000 please
