Laws invent crimes but this is next level
This new Florida law makes it a crime for an officer to have a panic attack if he thinks there's fentanyl near you. Its threshold is literally that an officer receives medical care for symptoms related panicking about fentanyl; no proof of exposure needed.

Early studies of methadone found it reduced crime. That’s how it was marketed to the Nixon Administration, methadone as a crime reduction tool. Because drug policy works on a loop, that old argument might help expand methadone today.
