Actually, it quite often sentences addicts to a death sentence, delivered faster than they can remove the syringe and toss it in the playground.

I'm really of mixed emotions on this. On the one hand, distributing fentanyl and carfentanil causes deaths in people who could possibly be cured of their addictions. On the other hand, we cure so few of our addicts and they themselves cause immense suffering, by recruiting others to their lifestyle, thefts and muggings, and by infecting innocent people who get stuck by their carelessly abandoned rigs, as happened to a child on the Springwater bike path in PDX last year.
