We're in the midst of a public health crisis. Our loved ones are being killed by fentanyl, yet lawmakers are wasting time debating something we know doesn't work: imposing harsher punishments on people who use drugs.

@elisabethepps@HRAC_Denver Now, question for Lisa of @HRAC_Denver. Says that criminalizing doesn't reduce overdose. Reasons why overdose: people using alone, unpredictable drug supply... says this is a public health emergency that needs a public health response.
I asked a few of my patients what they would say to @COHouseDem & @COHouseGOP re: HB 1326 ⬆️felony penalties for fentanyl possession & distribution
Every single one of them offered some version of:
“I’m not a criminal”
“I would never hurt anyone”
“I just need some help”
