How do you prevent that? Look at alcohol and how many people drive drunk

Then ban alcohol. I'd love to see you try and eat shit the same way they did a hundred years ago when you developed your worldview

Banning alcohol absolutely should be done and has only failed due to half-assed enforcement and lack of social support. We should be supporting addicts with treatment centers and educating on the harms. That is the best way to eliminate it.

good luck with that buddy, your head will be on a spike if you ever actually try something like this

Not only that, but banning alcohol made it more dangerous because moonshiners and bootleggers resorted to making more and more potent alcohol for transport discretely. The same thing is happening with opioids now. The rise in fentanyl is precisely because it's more potent so it gets concentrated and easier to smuggle and then dilute/cut at its destination, but then of course people start doing the uncut/pure stuff and die.
