Fentanyl isn't anything new, though, its just an easier to smuggle substitute for heroin. They've been smuggling coke and heroin forever.

I lean libertarian so I believe in the legalization of all drugs for many reasons, but I can accept that people feel that's too extreme a position. However, what I would say is absolutely beyond any reasonable debate is that the war on drugs is a total and miserable failure. Portugal has had success with decriminalization and harm reduction but, even if that's not the right solution to the US, there is absolutely no question that we need a different approach. The war on drugs is fueling the border crisis, fueling the fentanyl epidemic, and costing us tens of billions of dollars in the process.
