the ONLY reason it's worsening at the rate it is, is because of this stupid law. how many must die for people to realize this was wrong?

@squatch545 you throw the pushers in prison... no one is talking about rounding up junkies and imprisoning them.... you don't enable these people, you offer them help. if they commit crimes, you arrest them and force them into rehab. Simple possession was not really a jailable offence before... Maybe there was a three strike thing at one point.. I don't know, but there are tried and proven ways to reduce harm better than just letting fentanyl out in the streets unfettered. Unfortunately our prisons are not a good place to be if you want to get clean..
