Besides, I dont think legalizing heroin/Oxy would stop ODs

No. No it won't. It will lessen ODs significantly, as there's not going to be as much sudden binging into reduced tolerance.

Ideally, as harsh as it seems, burnouts are still going to burn out, and nothing will stop that, so let them.
As is, the functional users and addicts are caught in the crossfire of the delusion that we can somehow cause wasteoids to suddenly transform into productive members of society by simply declaring some odd thing to be prohibited, and locking them in a cage for twenty years when they do it anyway.
