Beyond "Abolish The FDA"

December 06, 2023 · Original source

If we eliminate prescriptions, then how do you get Adderall and painkillers? Remember, the FDA doesn’t fight the War on Drugs - that’s the DEA, a different agency. Many recreational drugs (including dangerous ones like methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl) have accepted medical uses. Right now, you’re allowed to use those drugs with a prescription, but not otherwise. If there’s no prescription system, can everyone buy these drugs at the corner store? Can nobody buy them?

The Case Against California Proposition 36

October 29, 2024 · Original source

But something else happened to influence California drug overdose rates in 2017. If you’ve been following local news at any point in the past decade, you might be able to guess: fentanyl started to reach California markets. The spike in overdoses perfectly tracks the spread of fentanyl in the state – in fact, you can see it right there on the chart.

(The rise in cocaine and methamphetamine overdoses over this same period most likely also reflects the spread of fentanyl. The data here record deaths by “non-mutually exclusive substance category” – that is, if a person is found dead with both fentanyl and methamphetamine in their system, both will be recorded. These combined overdoses from fentanyl+meth or fentanyl+cocaine are common in San Francisco.)

None of this has anything to do with California's particular approach to drug policy. Fentanyl has had the same devastating impact all over the country:
