    But I admit I never saw the flooding of opioids into Canada and America coming on the back of the legalization of marijuana. It's a massive issue and not just amongst the lowlifes. I had a cousin lose a son to a heroin overdoes in an upscale suburb of Toronto. A friend from university had to do an intervention for his son who had discovered fentanyl and almost died, he's in recovery now.

    The legalization of all drugs is more complicated than many thought including me.
    I don't see the link with grass. The rise in opioid addiction in North America has far more to do with incredibly lax prescribing practices (and undue pressure from the drug companies) that created huge numbers of 'legal' addicts who - when the prescribing practices were tightened up - only had heroin as a possible backup.

    Bingo.

    And the fact that until recently, their gangsters only moved coke. Which meant, at least in the 90s, you could buy crack on any street corner in a major city smack was unheard of.

    Well I think Seattle did pretty well for smack in the 90s, tbh.
