Yes, most prosecutors should be hanged on general principle.

Why can’t the DEA just win the WOD already?

Hanged! Hanged! I don’t want to know how these guys are hung!

Anyway, it seems to dismiss the culpability of the idiot who knowingly purchased and used the drugs. If it’s laced with something he didn’t know about, that’s different.

Because there isn’t any money in winning it. There’s money in rope-a-doping it.

They should dump 100 pound bags of that poison on every street corner and just let stupidity take its course. The situation should resolve its self in just a few weeks.

Seems to be the case. It’s sounding like if the poor addict knew, he’d have just cut the dose by 50 and had enough hits for quite a while.

Hate legalization all ya want, but it would force standardization.

"I think about Ed every day," he says, sitting in his new home, the New Hampshire State Prison for Men.

Too bad Ed didn't think about Ed.

There are two culprits here: Ed, who is responsible for his own demise, and the War on Drugs, which created the situation wherein Ed apparently didn't know what he was handling, or how strong it was.

It's also possible that the dealer could theoretically have some culpability, but only if he intentionally or negligently provided Ed with an improper dose.

But Ed is ultimately responsible for his own actions, including buying and using something of unknown strength on the black market.

And it remains a fact that Ed would probably still be alive if he had simply been able to get what he wanted, in the desired strength, from a legal source.

Prohibition kills... f--k the phony War on Drugs.

Vote Trump!

Fentanyl isn’t that, though. I don’t know how the dealer even got Fentanyl that cheap.

As P.J. O’Rourke once noted, a dead junky is a well behaved junky.

Sure sounds like this dealer sold Ed something that he said was a certain quantity of heroin, but wasn’t even heroin. It sounds like it was something 50 times more powerful. This is a murderous mind beyond that of simply feeding a dope habit.

“simply been able to get what he wanted, in the desired strength, from a legal source.”

You don’t know much about addiction do you?

Sometimes troublesome customers get the pure drug treatment, even though the sale is likely a loss to the dealer.

And don't forget, the same logic used against the drug dealer could also be used against someone who sells somebody a gun, with which they then commit suicide or a violent crime.

So before "small government conservatives" start cheering such expansive legal reasoning, they should be aware that this same exact logic can and will one day be used against them for selling a gun to the "wrong" person.

These are the unintended consequences of diluting individual responsibility and looking for scapegoats.
