“There’s always the hope that states function as laboratories of democracy, and when one state does something that makes sense and seems to work, that other states will adopt it,” says Davis. “Arrests went way down, overdoses didn’t change: To me, that’s an improvement over the previously existing system.”

    For real. In my much younger days and I was out and someone offered me a bump, id do it. Worst case, you snort a little baking soda. These days I’d be so afraid I wouldn’t fuck around.

      People are buying cocaine laced with fentanyl and dying. Crazy shit.

        What’s more, the people who are addicted to drugs take that risk knowing that the first bump or line from a new bag could kill them.

        When it became known that fent laced coke was in my area, I still bought a gram or more each day. Addiction is terrible. I still stumble here and there, but am a completely different person now (thankfully).
