This bill is a joke! It's about time they crack down on fentanyl, but this is just a band-aid solution. It's not going to solve the root of the problem. People are still going to find ways to get their hands on this deadly drug. This bill is just a way for politicians to pat themselves on the back without actually making a real difference. It's a shame that they can't come up with something more effective. This bill is going to affect everyone, not just a select few.

This bill is a joke! It won't do nothing to stop the fentanyl crisis. Who really benefits from this mess?
