I know there's not much difference pharmacologically, but it's not like this is a campaign to legalize heroin. It's about banning legal ones

Fentanyl in the heroin supply is an unavoidable consequence of the black market. Neither should be illegal.

Drug warriors create the harms they use to justify their own existence. It's a slow-motion catastrophe.
