This society has gone to pot.
So legalize it and buy up the Afghan crop.

people do OD -and not just because of the cut.
it;s because drug use is "shameful" hidden and extremely illegal.
There is no way for most people to talk about dosing and safety.
I've been around since the 60's -did my fair share -
but i also used a Physicians Desk Reference to understand tolerances and cross use
we we serious about getting high..lol

again though alcohol is out in front
people go to a bar -it's public -they cut you off etc.
none of that with dope -you're on your own. if you try to get info, you are called an addict
fuck all that -it's a main reason people die. isolated - look at rock stars -same thing- isolated
Tom Petty was on pain killers and Xanax - it stopped his heart. no way he should be doing that set
that sucks for him, but making heroin illegal surely didn't help him, did it?
The vast majority of people aren't going to go out and try heroin just because it is decriminalized. If addiction is treated like a mental health problem (which it is) these now non-criminals will have a better time getting help with less stigma attached. Portugal decriminalized all drugs and there nationwide addiction rates went down.
Furthermore you cut the legs off of the billion dollar black market which funds criminal gangs and thugs.
