I personally don't know what to think about charging surrounding people with his death. On one hand fentanyl is becoming an issue, so dealers knowingly or unknowingly need to be punished. On the other hand, they are doing a business and users are purchasers. Nobody is forcing a user to take it (it's their addiction). Traditionally I've been about getting people at the root, but I'm not sure that would deter.
On the other hand do you also charge drug companies for making prescription meds particularly addicting? This whole thing is a weird one.
