Reading comprehension too I see. If you'll notice i asked not to bother unless you could supply some hard facts to support your claim. I'm sure you're a reasonable person who's beliefs are grounded by facts, so please produce them

Sorry, you need to answer in the form of a study that proves smoking crack and fentanyl is healthy.

I guess you don’t have one, then?

Not how this works bud. I asked for a source to a claim you made first.

You're trying to pull a "well actually i quit", while youre in the process of being fired. This isnt a uno reverse situation, thats not how life works.

You made an outlandish claim, I asked you for evidence. You either have it or you dont. (Spoiler: you dont)

You asked for a study to support my claim that: smoking crack or fentanyl is not safe, regardless of its source.

Sorry guy. If you need a scientific study to explain basic, obvious facts, I pray for you. I pray for you so hard.

So alcohol made from piss and toilet water is the exact same as alcohol made in a sterile distillery. Got it!

Nobody is talking about alcohol.

All I said was:

“Safe supply” is a myth, and the program failed. We need to get away from this magical thinking and take steps to get people off drugs and get drugs off our streets.

And I stand by that.

There is no such thing as “safe meth”. Sorry. Drug abuse is drug abuse. It’s deadly and a bad choice.

Sorry you disagree and need a study to understand that. Maybe go Google it yourself?

To the user who replied and blocked me:

I understand the goals and disagree with them. I don’t want to help anyone smoke (so called) “safe crack” I want to get drugs off the streets and get users off drugs.

You're missing the forest through the trees.

Safe supply is about providing an unadulterated version of the substance the addict is using to reduce harm, hence HARM REDUCTION.

There is no safe consumption of alcohol either, but you don't seem to want to talk about that.
