Americans are dying from the War on Drugs, not from drugs. Nobody is dying from legal fentanyl.

Our top story, by Jason Buch: A small, inexpensive item might have averted some of these deaths. Fentanyl testing strips can be used to check for the presence of the synthetic opioid. But such testing strips are illegal in Texas.

Crack just not explicitly aimed at PoCs, they just moved on to totalitarian classism
Or glucometers and urine test strips because if you can't control your blood sugar they want you to die.
& since most street dope is contaminated with it anyways, there’s little option if you’re opioid dependant.
Always carry narcan & never use alone if possible
(& for those “fiscal conservatives”… it’s also the cheapest option since it keeps people (who usually can’t/won’t pay the med bills) out of the emergency room, plus lessens interactions with police & the high costs of courts/jail/etc)
Look at the total lack of outcry when those guard boiled a man to death & they weren't even written up for it.
Bad people (rm) deserve it.
