I mean, it's already illegal but it happens.  Do you have some wild brainstorm to make it stop?  So why not take measures to make it safer?

 Sitting back and just letting  children and adults get caught in the Drug Dealers  deadly web  is ridiculous. They do that in Europe -open drug areas , free syringes and heaven knows what else to just let them do drugs .

I have seen what  substance abuse does to  families  by working in acute rehab clinic.

I think alot of people  know someone who has a relative now adays who is struggling with substance abuse .  very easy for those who do not have a loved one  who is an addict to say " help them do their drugs " because the  addict is a lost cause or does not matter ".

Letting them just do drugs  increases an insidious creeping spider web that ends up affecting more and more children . Look at the new statistics of children dying from  these   drug dealer products .

Cut off the supply  and enforce the law against selling these illegal substances. 

Provide more free clinics and live in treatment centers for addicts. 

Quit glorifying drug and alcohol  usage in movies .

There needs to be a national campaign to talk with school age children to seek help for anxiety ,  depression  and  to resist  drugs from dealers.

My daughters childhood friend has stage 4 breast cancer.  I visited her today and hospice has her on these strips, plus morphine and pecoset.(sp) and a few others and she is still in pain, very much.  She has not been a drug user

She wants to be done and go.  I've seen pain, but not this much.

@qvcaddition sorry about your daughters friend, but that's not what this post is about, they aren't the same thing.

Sorry, I must have read wrong about the Fentanyl strips. My bad.

@RollTide2008 I think the idea is to not offer any safety measures for addicts. Darwin them out of existence. Except we know addiction is a disease, part of a physical vulnerability that has existed since the beginning of time. Like cancer. It doesn't go away.

You may make it easier for addicts to get sick and die, but that's not going to stop addiction.

That's assuming it's just junkies who die using drugs.  What about the recreational users?  The kid in a club who gets a little ecstasy laces with fentanyl?

Darwin them out of existence?  How?  That theory has no basis in truth, as it's a theory.  Theories must be proven and that one never was @Stelladorable 

I recall a time that many localities and states gave out free needles and works to keep the spread of AIDS down among people who shot up heroine.  They gave out profolatics in high schools too.  I think they thought "saying no" wasn't going to work and found a work around.  

The policy rationale behind it was slow the transmission of a disease.  Of course, the unintended consequences were "free places to shoot up" with clean needles.  Sort of like saying it's ok to do.  

I have no idea why anyone would want fentanyl and it is so much more potent than any other drug on the market.

@gertrudecloset my post was tongue in cheek. I mention that we know that addiction is a disease and we won't stop addiction by allowing addicts to die.
