People revert to opiods because of better alternatives either being too expensive or not available. The designer dope industry can supply alternatives for all kinds of populair drugs. Including MDMA, amphetamines, opiods, khat, cocain and more. These alternatives can be created at a dirt cheap pricepoint and often come with significantly reduced health impacts; by design. The actual production and R&D of these synthetic substances however is illegal, and so are the precursors and the precursors of the precursors, increasing the price up to the point they can no longer compete with primitive and more unhealthy alternatives such as for example heroin. No matter how you spin it, the "War on Drugs" costs much more money & lives than drugs at large. Let's respect citizens thus the right to self determination - Legalize & Regulate all the things!
