MODERATORS
Cars, legally manufactured to facilitate travel from place to place when used correctly and within the laws created that govern their use.
Please, tell us all exactly how this is comparable to illegal drugs, I’d love to hear it.
I'll try...
Fentanyl is drug, legally manufactured in China and used in clinical trials which, when used correctly and within the laws, can facilitate treatment of Addiction, PTSD, and depression.
Also imagine how many animals are killed by cars. And how many habitats have become uninhabitable to the toxicity of the tire and exhaust pollutants.
Fentanyl is used in hospitals as a pain killer... I've never heard of it being used for the stuff you listed. Are you thinking of ketamine?
Fentanyl is legal when used under supervision- ONLY.
Also… all fentanyl fatalities legally possessed their drugs? Is that what you’re saying? So…every junkie death happened under a psychiatrists supervision? Because most car fatalities happens to people who legally own their vehicle- save for those that happens as a result of vehicle theft, or illegal operation.
Legality is flexible and can usually be bought by the highest bidder. And just because cars are obtained legally, doesn't mean they are used as the manufacturer intended.
With fentanyl, we should stop blaming the homeless person and blame the manufacturer of the drug. In the same way, we should also stop blaming the drivers for killing people and blame the manufacturers that lobbied to make automobile transportation the only way to get around.
Ahh… you’re one of those people. It’s clearly pointless to continue this.
