If a cop wants you dead so bad he's willing to throw something I presume is worth millions aside for it, such law is the least of your problems.

50g of fentanyl has a street price tag of $5-10k USD.

that itself is another problem. if the system can make it extremely risky to sell such deadly drugs, its price will have to go up significantly, forcing many many people to stop abusing it.

you won't see that many fentanyl deaths if it costs say $10k per gram on the street. sadly, it is dirt cheap now, at only $100-200 per gram, people are dying.

You realize that's enough to kill about 25,000 people, right?

The penalties are already pretty big for selling just a few lethal doses.. having 50g+ is enough to blight an entire region.

have 51g of drugs is very very different from selling 51g to someone.

In your fantasy world what is the penalty for intent to sell?

fantasy of what? China's Criminal Law explicitly sets the penalty for such offense, 7 years to life sentence in a shitty Chinese prison for having 50g of hard drugs. no death penalty.
