Fentanyl deaths everywhere

[the big wheel]

At what point are we going to stop protecting the rights of losers pushing drugs losers entering your yard or house to steal and vandalize or beat the crap out of you for fun?

Nearly a daily bases fentanyl and other laced with poison drugs causing death.
Are we not able to even talk about this?

More kids at school stoned and lazy than ever.

no worries ....they will legalize fentanyl next.

Is there a place for "natural selection" in this debate? Probably depends if it's your kid or someone else's.

No sense being tough on crime. Re: the pusher network....hug a thug.

What will be the true costs of legalizing marijuana. Heard a statement, it has to be cheap enough to undercut the black market yet not cheap enough to encourage abuse and maybe even use. Cognitive impairment.... productivity losses, compromising mental and physical health and already "at risk" people. Oh but the tax revenue!!!!....for the wrong reason.

Geez and it will be "clean" pot....unlaced! Well then, we better legalize methamphetamines, cocaine and heroine while we're at it!

It’s getting ghoulish here. They keep catching guys “visiting” terminal cancer patients in the local hospitals with syringes, drawing the fentanyl out of their patches. Time to start filling swamps with shallow graves

After thought....food for thought. What lengths did employers, oil companies/pipeline construction companies/industrial construction companies/etc.... , go to to ensure their employees were clean....so before if you failed a piss test for pot you were fired?......now it's going to be ok because its legal? What's changed besides the law? Are users magically no longer a risk to their fellow workers? Hypocrites!

Klausterphobia.....you ever been piss tested? What's the new rules going forward going to be?

Will be interesting to hear about how many innocent people will pay the price with there lives from this legislation. How much will the government gain in revenue and then how much will they spend on a cure for the monster they have created. How many lawsuits will be created by this brilliant policy.

I guess i didnt get the memo,I am pretty sure pot was being used in the 60s,so how cum all of a sudden armogedon. Politics MABEY.

[farmaholic]

Apparently the strength has increased quite a bit from that time too.

Fentanyl is kind of a natural thinning of the herd.

I know several potheads - lifetime users, not much wrong with their minds nor their work ethics. I have never heard of them having an accident either. Many of them are old guys now. Back in 1968 LSD was the fentanyl at university. Some of the users and producers that I remember became big wigs. Go figure! But today the users, many very young, are dying in droves, people get hooked by taking pain killers. It’s sad. An article I read seemed to imply that certain people are just prone to become dependant but most of us are not at risk. If I end up in pain, there is no way in hell.
