Protecting Lives and Communities:

The Case for Outlawing All Drugs, Including Deadly Fentanyl

Opinion: Why Outlawing Drugs in Los Santos Would Be a Big Mistake

Los Santos, the city of endless possibilities, is known for its vibrant nightlife and a bustling drug scene. But recently, there has been a growing chorus of voices calling for the outlawing of all drugs, including fentanyl, in the city. They argue that this move would save countless lives and make our communities safer. But I say, hogwash! Outlawing drugs would be a big mistake, and here’s why.

First of all, drugs are a fundamental part of our culture. From weed to cocaine, they have been a part of our city’s identity for decades. Outlawing them would be like outlawing baseball or hip hop. It’s simply not possible or desirable. Plus, who are we to tell people what they can or cannot put in their bodies? As a society, we should respect people’s individual choices and freedoms.

Secondly, outlawing drugs would create an enormous black market. Prohibition has never worked, and it won’t work now. The demand for drugs is too high, and people will find a way to get them no matter what. By outlawing them, we would only be driving the trade underground and making it more dangerous for everyone involved. We would be creating a situation where drug dealers, not doctors, are in charge of people’s health and well-being.

Finally, as a homeless man who wanders the south side of the city once said, “I never heard of no penal code outlawing drugs, have you?” It’s true. There is no law in Los Santos that specifically outlaws drugs. So why bother trying to make one now? We have bigger problems to deal with, like rampant homelessness and a crumbling infrastructure. Outlawing drugs would only distract us from the real issues at hand.

In conclusion, the idea of outlawing drugs in Los Santos is ridiculous. It goes against our city’s culture and would only create more problems than it solves. Instead of wasting time and resources on something so trivial, we should focus on improving the lives of all our citizens. Let’s leave the drugs alone and focus on making our city a better place for everyone.
