GOVERNACIDE: “End the Scourge” by letting people be free

Fentanyl – Which Candidate Can End the Scourge?
Trump and Harris place the blame and solution in different places.
John Klar  — Sep 18, 2024

*** begin quote ***

Among the odd exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris at their first and perhaps only debate before Election Day was a dispute over who would better protect Americans from the growing scourge of illegal substances, especially fentanyl. This issue is of top concern to millions of Americans who have suffered the loss of a loved one to this deadly drug, largely imported from Mexico. How will these candidates measure up for this demographic in November?

As Americans weigh the respective offerings of the 2024 party platforms, differing prescriptions for abortion, economic growth, foreign policy, and border security vie for favoritism among voters. The irreversible, life-changing trauma of losing a child, parent, or sibling to pernicious fentanyl or other opioids is, for many, an issue of the highest priority – cutting across party loyalties and hardly confined to undecided independents.

*** end quote ***

As a little L libertarian, and having lost a family member to drugs and raising a child injured by per-natal drug use, I think and believe that the the Gooferment must admit it is powerless to “solve” the problem. “They” can’t keep drugs out of prison so how do they expect to do it in a free society? My “solution” is to let the free market operate. Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon will make the “illegal drugs” clean, safe, and cheap. Then, we can focus all the wealth wasted of “prohibition” on making resources available to those who want to get “clean”. Will people still die from “drugs”? Absolutely! But they won’t be “accidental” from fentanyl in their heroin. Sorry to be the bearer of “bad news”, but it’s completely out of our control what free people can put in their own bodies. Let’s make addiction as “safe” as possible.
