    It's beyond an opioid crisis at this point. fentanyl is put into everything and people who would never take opioids are ODing. Met someone that ODed and had 2 friend die at a party because they did cocaine laced with it.

    People that do psychedelics that just want to love on each other and see some colors have to worry about it. I read some people were dieing because dealers were using the same equipment for other drugs as they were using for Fentanyl. It has changed the game for the worse.

    I think this might drive legalization of psychedelics and other mild non-addictive drugs. If you can get regulated, government inspected manufacturing you’re going to eliminate contamination by opioids.

    Yes a well regulated market along with an emphasis on treatment is the best way to deal with these issues.

    During prohibition there was not only rampant crime but also people going blind from drinking methyl alcohol. When there is a strong demand an unregulated black market will always step in.

    People here should be following this because it's so fascinating,
    it's WELL KNOWN before the woke-apocalypse that it's easy to get drugs in that city

    but the fact it's now 'OPEN AIR' meaning the drug dealers are doing this like a FARMER'S MARKET
    in San Francisco and the City DOES NOTHING for YEARS

    now the drug addicts have like multiplied like the walking dead

    and good old Gavin Newsom SENT IN THE NATIONAL GUARD


    In the normal part of America, it's just called ARRESTING DRUG DEALERS

    It’s too hot in Texas for this, although Austin is pretty awful these days.

    Unregulated America:

    If you don't want fentanyl in your prescription drugs, you should get your prescription drugs from another pharmacy.

    And if you don't like where that pharmacy gets their prescription drugs

    You really should have gotten that prescription from a different doctor.

    There’s no open air drug markets in Texas
    They are usually sold by drug dealers on the down low because drug dealers get arrested
