Can someone explain how legalizing drugs would stop this from happening

Methadone is for replacement for a Heroin addiction Big L libertarians tell us it's our right to use drugs but never look at the consequences

She wouldn’t need to hide it in a Dayquil bottle?

Methadone is for replacement for a Heroin addiction ...

It's also used as a pain reliever.

I know a guy whose wife has a variety of medical problems causing severe pain, for which she is prescribed methadone.

Can someone please explain why the illegalization of (some) drugs didn't prevent this from happening?

And rat poison is used to kill rats. Yet I'm sure that there are some idiots out there who do stupid things with it, like storing it in their pantries, where it can be mistaken for, say, flour.

The consequences of the War on (some) Drugs - both in terms of the loss of human life, and the erosion of our civil liberties - are worse than the consequences of legalization would be.

Regards,

A "Big L" Libertarian

So presumably, when you hear about a child getting killed due to misuse of a firearm, you use this to argue that guns should be banned?

I don’t think anyone argues that legalizing drugs would prevent this kind thing.

It would prevent an expensive Police State, and associated violence and corruption, however.
