Perhaps instead of wringing our hands and crying about the growing epidemic of fentanyl related deaths, we should wash our hands of the problem and simply take the view that if idiots knowingly and voluntarily ingest a deadly drug, then they have to accept the consequences of their actions.  I don't feel that it is my responsibility as a taxpayer to spend millions of dollars to protect people from their own stupidity.   Given the very high death rate associated with the use of fentanyl, if left alone the problem will quickly resolve itself and we can dedicate our health care resources to people who are worthy of our consideration.

Of course, we do have a duty to deal with the sellers and I suggest that it might be reasonable to charge the drug sellers with murder if their product causes a death.
