I don't see how forcing addicts to purchase heroin on the street is safer than getting it prescribed by a doctor. People wouldn't overdose if they knew exactly how strong the drugs they injected were, they OD when the drug is unexpectedly powerful, especially when laced with fentanyl.

I don't think you should be able to purchase heroin at 7/11, but certainly there is something better than total prohibition. If you want to keep killing people, force addicts to buy opiates on the street.
