Taking 80k pills off the market, while it sounds like a lot, will barely make a dent. It may raise the street price by a few cents on average. I’m all for drug interdiction for other reasons but it barely makes a dent in the drug supply. These seizures are acceptable losses for cartels.
I like safe consumption sites, plus expansions in access to narcan, suboxone, and methadone. Community outreach to users using recovering folks. We’re doing many of the right things, but we just need a lot more of them.
