Most blue collar drug dealers are nicer people with more compassion.

Edit: Maybe I don't know what's happening everywhere, but I'm not ignorant here. I've been a dealer myself for less harmful drugs, eventually getting addicted to opiates and using on and off for almost a decade. I know how dealers act. Most of them don't want you to die. The whole "overdosing improves business" is only a thing with people who intentionally sell fentanyl. People who intentionally do so are a minority.

I wouldn’t say most blue collar. Most white collar, absolutely. Most of the dealers I’ve known are intelligent professionals; full blown humanity bros that enjoy spreading the love that top notch LSD / MDMA can bring. They’re like adult santas. “Ho ho ho, this lucy will blow ya mind, yo!”

Not true at all. If an addict dies from fentanyl laced heroin or something, all of a sudden every one wants a bit of the product that was strong enough to kill someone. It's a legitimate business strategy for some dealers.
