I don't think you should be hopeful, experts. They're about to go way up.

Absolutely. just as soon as Trump hits the whitehouse everything that caused the decline is going to go away.

because they're assholes who care more about staffing prison labor programs than about the american people. There's a reason incarceration is the only form of slavery enshrined in the constitution, and it ain't because the labor is somehow reformative.

Watch all of those narcan distribution programs lose funding.

That's optimistic, I'm anticipating systematic execution of drug users. Republicans have praised Duterte's policies in the past.

Can't die of overdose if the state kills you first.

This is a use of 'optimistic' I've not encountered before.

Optimistic that they'll "only" cut narcan funding, yeah... it's bleak.

They are going to go after dispensaries.

I guarantee it. Stock up while you can if you can.

Buy your heroin now before the prices spike!

Right? Just wait until January

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I was thinking it but didn't want to say it.

Here we go, even drugs are low quality now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

That, or even street drugs are so expensive now no one can afford them. Damn inflation...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

That's good, but those are still pretty high levels compared to the historical situation.
