The ‘best friend’ who was lauded by the media as a victim and given nationwide interviews is now using his fifth admendment right to not testify. This is due to not wanting to incriminate himself on third degree murder charges of George Floyd. Turns out the bestie is the one who sold the speedballs and gave Floyd the fake bill after trying to use it himself according to testimony from Floyd’s girlfriend.

"Yo, I'm tryin to sell this new shit called 'Highway to Heaven' It's a mix of meth, fentanyl, coke, and a light sprinkling of PCP... you wanna try it?" "Fuck man, sure."
I mean, this is exactly the problem that happened with Narcan.
Departments started pushing that shit to officers because it was extremely effective at regaining consciousness of nearly lethal over-doses. To the horror of fucking everyone, it didn't reduce over-doses. In fact, over-doses increased. This was because addicts realized that they could push their limits further, and started relying on trip sitters or even just nearby witnesses to call the police when they OD'd.
This is a common thread in human psychology. Protectionism from the consequences of an action, increase the occurrences of that action, because there is no consequence that disincentivizes them.
Junkies and Addicts will push themselves to the point of death, and their addiction incentivizes them to keep going. The dealer is incentivized to sell. No on here is properly incentivized to refuse.
