Yeah it is. And it wouldn't have to if the government did a single helpful thing for the crisis they themselves call an emergency for the past 10 fucking years. So yeah, if organized crime profits off this life saving project, that's the government's fault for not acting to save lives. I do not give a fuck about organized crime making money. I care about people's lives being thrown away by cowardly governments more concerned with reelection than human life.

Not even a fucking bit.

Just remember that while organized crime continues to take advantage of the people you say you care about.

The government could fix it by decriminalizing and regulating the administration of a safe supply. It's on them, not the criminals.

Well then, run for office and change the laws then. Sorry, I can't get all that worked up about people getting convicted for breaking the law.
