People have been using drugs since before we were even people

Prohibition is extremely effective - but only in its actual goal of subversion and marginalization

People still dig drugs and will seek them out with or without the gov's permission - this just increases their risk
House vote tally on the passage of the HALT Fentanyl Act with 214 Republicans and 75 Democrats voting yea and 131 Democrats and 1 Republican voting nay Text above it from a tweet reads: From: Coalition for Syringe Access @SyringeAccess In voting for the HALT Fentanyl Act, 75 House Democrats just supported: 👉 Continuing the failed war on drugs 👉 Creating new mandatory minimums that will disproportionately impact Black & Brown folks 👉 Hampering research into fentanyl-related substances This is disgraceful.
