It sucks their kids died but it is more their fault than Snapchat.
You can’t blame the postman for delivering weed, it is just another package to them. And by the same token if someone seeks out drugs that’s on them.
Legalise drugs.
How the fuck is legalising drugs going to help from an overdose?
Better drugs, more accountability, better regulations, better education, stronger supports funded by the Revenue from drugs.
How is this news to you?
Motivated reasoning is a heluva drug
How so?
Dude you were replying to seems convinced criminalization is the way to go, despite all the evidence to the contrary. Like 120 years worth (give or take) of prohibition in the US, and the drug problem has only gotten worse. If dude doesn’t want to see that evidence, dude won’t.
Because I don’t live in a country where drugs are rampantly abused like a past time? It’s a good thing you know?
How’s the weather is make believe land?
Drug abuse and drug use are not synonymous. Most people who use drugs use them as part of their life and don’t have dependency issues. So who cares if they use them
What country do you live in?
Been 3 hours and he still hasn’t answered lul. Bet he Googled it and found out it is rampant.

India, yes drugs exist here and yes I have had them. But for a country of 1 billion+ you will very rarely find articles about people OD’ing the way you do in other countries because that culture is not here. It is present in few specific states like Punjab but not a country wide thing.
You mean the culture of reporting and talking about it, right?
Wow, less than 5% of Indians even use alcohol. Quite a different culture for sure.
You’re country is missing out then. Drugs are a key aspect of the human condition.
It said the drug she bought wasn’t what was advertised and contained a lethal amount of fentanyl. Legalizing drugs will allow people to get what is advertised and users are able to seek help for addiction etc. Users are going to use regardless if its legal or not. So being able to get help for addiction and buy it safely can significantly reduce the number of unnecessary deaths.
Okay that actually makes sense and I’m an idiot.
Good ending
“lethal amount of fentanyl” whoever is selling those drugs sucks at their business.
Let’s use an example from history, Alcohol. Is the alcohol you can purchase in the store safer than the stuff some sketchy dude will sell you in the parking lot? Probably right? Same goes for drugs, much safer when it’s regulated because making it illegal clearly doesn’t do a good job at preventing deaths.
Gets rid of any added substances, lessens the “forbidden fruit” appeal of drugs and implements safety checks so if you do OD or are worried you’ve OD’d you’re not afraid to call the ambulance.
