Surely the DEA wouldn't exaggerate?

You develop a tolerance that sort of drug so a dose that would turn you or me into a zombie would barely register for a junkie.

It doesn't. Even making the generous assumption that the DEA is being honest here, what constitutes a lethal dose for a non-user may be substantially less than what constitutes a lethal dose for a heavy-using addict.

#6Do you think legalising safer drugs, like Heroin, would be a sensible step? [Edit: I do]
I advocate legalising Opium straight away. I think Heroin is a step further than required.
How many people have to die from synthetic opiate overdose? The obvious public health measure is to legalise the much safer natural alternatives.

In college I worked in a hospital where one of the nurses was abusing fentanyl by taking the 'waste' and ordering doses for patients and not administering it. Eventually people caught on and confronted her, she offered to take a toxicology test to prove her innocence so they drew her blood.
She was completely coherent, you would have a hard time knowing that she was the least bit altered, but she had something like 550mcg in her system. For a patient of her size with no tolerance, they'd likely administer 50mcg or 100mcg for regional anesthesia. It's crazy how much tolerance can build.

Cigarettes are already legal despite killing 7x as many in the US as all opioids combined every day, week, month, and year.
US drug policy is not about harm reduction or life saving, and never has been.

Oregon tried it, and it failed.
So no, not they way they did it.
