At what point are we going to accept that prohibition and abstinence has failed? We need to legalise all drugs and teach our children harm reduction. Removing the profit motive for ever more compact and potent drugs is the only way we're going to make a dent in this problem. We banned opium and got heroin, we banned heroin and got fentanyl, we banned fentanyl and now watching the morgues fill up while the cartels invent the next monstrously potent chemical.
