Tom Petty and Prince died trying to manage pain with fentanyl. These aren't skid row homeless people, it's a real issue. A guy I grew up with died from it. He was a successful lawyer, died because he made a poor choice when he bought something on the street. A woman I know, same thing happened.
These people need access to supervised consumption, addiction services, rehab, etc. Isn't it Portugal that basically legalized everything and addiction rates went down in a big way? Go off of that format and improve on it if we can.
