Then they’d be killing other people not just themselves. Alcohol is a terrible drug all around. I’ve done everything under the sun and alcohol is the one that I’d always inevitably get in trouble.
I was being facetious. People need to quit using illegal drugs and if they can’t control their alcohol intake, quit or go to AA.
Fent would not be a problem if no one used.

The Chinese will tell anyone who will listen they are at war with us.
They’re just doing to us what the British did to them.
Some of America's most famous families were involved in the opium trade with China, like the Astors, the Peabodys, and the Delanos. We were never in it to the scale of the British, but we were in it.

Okay. Well here in the real world people do. There would be no drunk driving accidents if nobody drank alcohol. People will though, that’s just reality

My brother was a heroin addict big time. He lost everything he had to it. A nice house, 2 trucks, a boat, very nice high paying job.
Only thing it left him with is hiv and hepatitis.
He’s clean now and actually doing pretty good.
I can’t believe he didn’t die. I still don’t understand how anyone can stick a needle in their arm to get high, not knowing if what you’re about to inject into your body is a bad batch and kill you.
I asked him that one time and he just said because you’re gone, you don’t care about anything but the high. Also said that I would never understand.

Just a couple dozen pounds of fentanyl were seized along the northern US border with Canada last year, CBP data shows
A “couple dozen pounds” of fentanyl is enough to kill about 6 million people.

And for now in the real world they will continue to die from Fent poisoning.

Its a waste of time, a new synthetic would be on the market shortly afterwards, probably more dangerous.
Americans spend 150b on illicit drugs every year. Thats one hell of a market and their will always be suppliers
It's hard to say this but its the truth...just legalize it. It sounds crazy but it would kill the cartels, stop the flow of dangerously altered drugs and neuter the china labs. Reliable supply that doesn't have God knows what in it. Generates revenue rather than spending on fighting the drug trade.
Mexican commercial pot use to come across the border by the damn train n load. Now you can get legal weed that's far superior for less money so no one buys the mexican crap.
Up side would be us old timers could enjoy some nice clean coke every once in a while lol

What’s going on with Alaska having such a huge increase in opioid deaths?
I had the same question. I know Alaska had a high addiction rate and a high suicide rate as well has a high depression rate. I am sure with parts of Alaska going through the period where it is dark for what? Like 23 hrs a day.. Lack of vitamin D causes problems that can lead to depression.
I am sure those who live there are used to it, but I couldn't imagine going through a regular work day for almost 3 months, in the dark. But I think that's only the northern part of Alaska and isn't the majority of its population.
