It doesn’t really matter. There will always be people who want to use drugs. If people quit acting like prohibition or abstinence work then drugs would be less of a problem.
Lmfao that’s so naive dude. I know people who led perfectly healthy and happy lives but used recreational and party drugs because it was fun. That’s it, just cuz it was fun. You can’t put the consequences of people’s thrill seeking on society.

If only there was a way not to overdose on these…
Legalize and make a safe supply available.
A good step, but there’s an even more safe way, believe it or not.
What’s that?
Not using any cocaine or MDMA.

Does prohibition work?
Clearly not, as shown by the us alcohol prohibition or the war on drugs.
So given that total abstinence is practically impossible, do drug users deserve to die of overdose?
Nope, never said they did. But it is their responsibility.
You know that’s never going to happen (on a societal level, I don’t use), right?
Don’t bother feeding that troll.
Just because you disagree with me, doesn’t mean I’m a troll.
When you start acting like the morality police then the label fits.
Are you going to go around next and beat the shit out of woman who don’t dress like you want?
Because that happens in other countries.
I know. But at the end of the day, it’s still an individual’s own responsibility.

It does. You generally don’t overdose on something you don’t take.
Drugs are a problem even in places where they are legalized or decriminalized. Not this big of a problem, but still a problem.
Society’s responsibility
If you make everyone have a good life then there’s no need for drugs
So is making sure bad drivers are not on the road, but you still put on your seatbelt.
Some people will make stupid choices regardless how good a life they have.
