Reply to comment by theshogun02 in San Jose police union exec charged with attempt to import, sell valeryl fentanyl, officials say by MySixSense

It's crazy to me people buy into the whole fentanyl poisoning thing with cops. You can't get an overdose by skin contact, that's not how the drug works at all.

They just use that to cover up the fact cops get high on it frequently and can't pass a drug test.

My sheriff is that asshole you saw with the big ass hat that was on Tucker Carlson. He got rid of the narcan in my county (Butler county Ohio, between Cincinnati and Dayton) at the peak of the opiate crisis. This is one of those kind of people. Scared everyone to death and in the same breath told us our neighbors and family members don't deserve to be saved. We lost hundreds of people, I lost my best friend. This shit is no threat to normal people, but anyone who so much as takes a pill they aren't sure about is at risk of death. Asshole also fought against any and all rehab facilities, made sure there were few resources to actually fight this issue. It's a political tool, a scare tactic. But when it comes to actually fixing the problem they chose to sweep it under the rug. We've got college kids overdosing on bad Adderall, but there's this "the junkies get what they deserve" sentiment hanging around. It's all theater, a big political fucking circus

This. The war on drugs was terrible and affected anyone living in a low income area, nobody cared about the countless suburban kids doing drugs around school.
