There are negative consequences with enabling users to purchase narcotics.
More overdoses doesn't necessarily mean more users.

For example, it was recently reported in Ontario that because of travel restrictions, cocaine smuggling is down, therefore the product that does make it in, gets cut over and over again, increasing the chances that impurities and other drugs get mixed with it.

In the case of opiates, the same supply issues exist. It's making some addicts go dry for longer than they normally would, which can make them over estimate their tolerance the next time they score. Most people that OD do it after not using for a while because of this.
