Your typical college kid isn't running around doing fentanyl.

Not intentionally, at least.

This is a good idea IMO. Good to have Narcan around in case someone consumes too much fentanyl accidentally.

Vast majority of addicts do not want fent.

Eh that’s not really true. I’d rather have heroin for sure but that’s gotten hard to find. So since I can’t get h I’ll absolutely get fent. I’m an opiate user though. If I were doing meth I wouldn’t expect fent to be in it but alas

I would bet the majority of people who OD on fentanyl knew they were doing fentanyl.

I know a guy whose 18-y/o daughter died from Fentanyl in cocaine that she bought in a club. He always says that she was "poisoned"...at first I thought that this was inaccurate and just his way of coping with the loss. But upon further reflection she really was poisoned by something that she did not intend to consume. You can argue that she "accepted the risk" by buying street drugs of unknown origin but it seems harsh to suggest that she deserved the death penalty for this decision. It does illustrate that a single poor decision by a teenager can have permanent consequences.

It’s a good idea to pass out Narcan, it can save lives

This only works if there is a penalty attached. The same reason "free drugs" is creating hordes of infected in the inner cities. Narcan is great, to help kick the addiction. But if you're giving Narcan regularly, because the abuser shows no signs of stopping, then you aren't saving anyone. "Compassionate care" is neither compassionate nor caring. It's idiotic and allows the "caring" types to pat themselves on the back and say, "well look, we gave them narcan and it saved their lives, now i'm going to ignore what will happen down the road because i don't really care about any human life, just about my own selfish needs of showing others "i care"".

America claims it wants to use the European model of drug use, however, they ignore that if you are a repeat offender, your arse gets thrown in jail. California is a carrot only model. They don't use the stick.

I don’t feel like the American public fully understands what is going on here. The Chinese people are not making this in some underground meth lab. Those citizens live in a complete nanny state. The govt watches what they see on tv, monitors their internet, knows where they are at all times, etc.
So we can determine that it’s the Chinese government making the fentanyl, dealing with the Mexican cartels, and pushing it out to the streets.

The part I’ve not figured out it why. Is it money? Is it a subversive attempt to undermine the citizens? Laying the foundation for a future war on American soil?

---

Yes, and the narrative would be China is getting revenge for the Opium Wars of the 19th century.

The Opium Wars

Then you need to ask yourself, is it really China doing it? Or someone else and pointing at China for the blame?

Well this is fascinating from a couple of directions.

You're an active fentanyl user? Or have you been clean for a bit?

1 year 1 month and 13 days

Personal choice. If they want to carry it around and take responsibility for others, that's their call. I won't be.
