How about we start at home like, I dunno, actually punishing the people responsible for the opioid epidemic (Purdue, the Sacklers, etc.)

True, and let's not forget, freeing all the people that just did drugs rather then, well selling or distributing.

Pfft and get rid of legal in-the-constitution slavery and harm for-profit prison's income? No way!

Because the Sacklers pay our politicians.

Also because we totally won when the Sacklers’ business entities had to pay a fine but left the people themselves…still rich beyond reason and at liberty.
