When you say “drug dealers” you mean pharmacists right?
Physicians created the opioid epidemic.
Also, ivermectin works, no matter what your doctor says
Anyone who profits off of violating other's rights are worthy of severe punishment, according to the degree of violation.
In the case of drugs, legal or not, prescribed or not, addictions can turn otherwise good people into slaves. And breaking addictions are almost impossible.
People who sell drugs knowing that they are addictive, and not taking extreme precautions to prevent addiction, are worthy of severe punishment if not death.
Those who intentionally get people hooked so they can make a few bucks are worthy of death.
IMO if someone is selling a drug that is either mislabeled or cut with something else, that's an issue. However, if someone is selling a clean compound that is labeled appropriately, to someone who wishes to buy said compound, how is that an issue?
A person's rights are not being violated when they buy a compound that they are fully aware can cause harm. Do you think there is anyone out there buying a bag of heroin who can straight up honest to god say "oh, I had no idea this was addictive or could cause me harm"? I feel like what you're saying is actually more relevant to doctors than to street "drug dealers", as when a doctor prescribes certain things like benzos for example, they often don't inform the patient of the dangers. And when a doctor prescribes something, it's coming from a position of authority so there isn't the same assumption that it's likely unsafe, that you'd get when purchasing something off the street.
I personally feel ALL drugs should be legal, and it should be up to the individual to decide what they do or don't want to put into their body. I feel like it'd be nice if those selling would include some form of informational booklet or whatever that informs their client of what they're taking, along with potential dangers. But I still feel like it's up to the individual taking said compound to properly inform themself of the potential dangers, and take the appropriate precautions.
TLDR: It's not my dealer's fault if I get addicted to meth or something, it's MY fault for buying said compound and taking it.
