US has around 110k opiate related deaths each year, 75%~ are fentanyl.
UK has around 2.8k opiate related deaths each year, 2%~ are fentanyl.
If heroin prices rise substantially we will start seeing fentanyl in the UK/Europe increase.

No it won't. Look at what fentanyl has done to the US. It has caused a huge spike in ODs and fatalities. Add in the horror of it acting almost like a nerve agent on people who come into contact with it, like police/paramedics.

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid, which, similar to morphine, produces analgesia but to a greater extent. This robust pharmacologic agent is typically 50 to 100 times more potent. A dose of only 100 micrograms can produce equivalent analgesia to approximately 10 mg of morphine.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

I would still argue fewer drugs are a good thing.
It's a healthcare issue. I much rather spend £50/d on NHS prescribing controlled heroin than have an addict shoplifting/mugging/burglary-ing £500 worth of stuff each day. Have them in the healthcare system so help can be offered less intrusively.
I think we actually ran a serious trial in the 60s? where NHS gave out hard drugs and it worked. Then the whole war on drugs moral outrage tulipe took over.
Soft drugs should be put in the same category as alcohol/tobacco. Ensure quality, discourage underage consumption, tax.Comment
