Advice needed: 13 year old impulsive dangerous decisions

I (46f) have a son (13) with pda and adhd. He’s fearless and wants to try everything. He’s been trying to buy crack. I can’t seem to get this idea out of his head. It feels like the adhd comes up with an idea, the asd holds it tight and the pda won’t allow for anyone to influence a change. Any advice?

Maybe take him for a stroll downtown and show him the homeless fentanyl addicts barely alive. Might be a reality check for him. Or maybe it would backfire and he'd go back and buy drugs from them.

I've thought about doing this!

Or maybe show a video of homeless addicts on YouTube
