Pierre is cheering for this degree of being divorced from the reality of marginalized people. maybe don't victim blame substance users? most of the supply gets contaminated by the cartels. it's really simple, if you wanna fix that, you replace the dangerous supply with a safe supply and free drug testing centers
Read what I've written.
I strongly doubt normal users and addicts are carrying more than 6mg on hand at any time.
40mg is an enture fuckin house party's worth of fent usually, because nearly always it's laced with other drugs.
So each dose is about 1mg or so
2mg is a lethal dose for most users... 40mg is enough to kill 20 people >_>;
why are you such a party pooper? who cares how much someone owns? you're equating potential of overdose with probability of harm being enacted. this is all a theory you made up in your mind
There was a total of 49,105 apparent opioid toxicity deaths reported between January 2016 and June 2024
Of all accidental apparent opioid toxicity deaths so far in 2024 (January to June), 79% involved fentanyl
This shit is super hyper fucking lethal, and the people who move it around and push it need to be locked up
However, I've spent the last couple hours looking info up on this and it seems there us a growing trend of people, as crazy as it sounds, shooting up and smoking pure fentanyl.
And due to its much shorter duration, people build a tolerance way faster and, indeed, there's reports of people doing entire doses of dozens of mg in a single hit
Which is absolutely mind boggling to me tbh.
But yeah I guess there really are people walking around with that much in their pocket.
The thing that's tough is, how do you seperate between 1 person who has 40mg, lacing it in 40 pills to sell at a club (which could potentially kill people), vs 1 person who has 120mg which will only last them literally the day by themself.
Legally that is, in terms of possession charges.
you don't separate them because that's how you end up perpetuating the war on drugs ideology and because most resellers don't lace their products.
I'm going back to my first comment again, if drug testing centers were free and accessible, there would be a repository of trusted sellers based on their purity results
