Out of curiosity, does your argument also work for drugs?

Isn't that pretty much settled already? It seems to me our society is becoming more and more permissive while giving up the previous "war on drugs" failed approach which did an incredible amount of damage.

>>Yoric+(OP)
Isn't it obvious drugs have utility?

It also created and continues to create a lot of cheap labor, which the United States is in short supply of and likely will be for the foreseeable future.

Depends on the drugs. If you think anyone who is reasonable in their head takes fentanyl (which is 50 times stronger than heroin and can be incredibly easily overdosed on because they are packaged in 24 hour slow release plasters and additionally is either stolen from the healthcare system, sometimes actually ripped off from elderly patients, or bought from mexican drug cartels) then you'd be wrong.

Fentanyl is an FDA-approved analgesic. I would guess that the reasonable person who is prescribed fentanyl takes it.

>>schlec+uF
People get high from drugs, thus drugs have utility.

Your opinion on the validity or ethics of that utility has no impact on the fact that for some people they have utility.

Fentanyl is a last resort painkiller that is extremely heavily regulated in other countries and prescribed for things like tumor pain and heavy burns. It's not a regular painkiller, it's a narcotic. If you dose it high enough it can be used during anesthesia.

>>schlec+Os7
Yes, everyone knows all of this. My point stands: people who are prescribed fentanyl typically take it.
