Reply to comment by towerninja in [New York Times] Tranq Dope: Animal Sedative Mixed With Fentanyl Brings Fresh Horror to U.S. Drug Zones by Hoyarugby

That’s naive. Oxycodone and Percocet are legal drugs and they are still sold by armed, illegal drug dealers in McPherson Square. So no, it doesn’t put them out of business “instantly.”

I'm not talking about legal by prescription. I talking about legal for recreational use where anyone of age can go buy whatever they want. So yes it does instantly put drug dealers out of business. Also I can almost guarantee you can't buy oxycodone in Mcfoerson square! You can probably buy counterfeit pills made from fentanyl though

Weed isn't federally legal and it did fuck up the street business in places like Colorado
