re: Fentanyl-laced marijuana. The article didn't make it clear exactly how it was laced, but I'm curious. Any way you slice it, it sounds awful.

The little blonde girl? How did she get so Republican! “NO!”

Well OK. Have a nice life abstaining from sex until marriage, hating LGBTQ people “Just cause!”

Alert the media when she starts school!

BTW--weed as an “exit drug” from Opioid addiction?

Whatcha been smokin’ doc! No wonder his Harvard Med School class refuses to list him as an alumnus!

But Confederate General Sessions! Weed certainly isn’t a gateway drug to narcotic abuse! That’s like saying that all crack users drank milk as a baby. There is a difference between correlation and causation.

Have #DotardTrump explain it for you....

HA! Sarcasm.

>without the easy access to privilege and money that comes with being white

you have really got to stop writing like this

Fentanyl laced weed sounds improbable. Adding a more expensive product (Fentanyl etc) would reduce the dealer's profit. If anything, they would dilute a product by adding a less expensive product (oregano or catnip) to increase their profit.

@3:
Marijuana can address the nausea, anorexia, sleeplessness, and malaise of opiate withdrawal, deal with pain that may have first led someone to opiates who turned-out to have a weakness for them, and be a more benign drug of substitution for those who seem to need to do drugs, especially where 'more benign' includes 'not likely to get you imprisoned'.

Note that 'can', as individual mileage varies, and 'more benign' is a personal and medical judgement—injected heroin seems to me a more benign drug than (smoked) marijuana if you've got terminal lung cancer.

'Does it taste yummy?'—`Well, the plant doesn't taste yummy[…] .`

De gustibus, but fresh stems of non-skunky plants taste great to me—too many and the cystoliths might grate, but in moderation….

@2:
Children often can't reason things out and lack even more information than adults, so in order to keep them safe (and convenient) we tend to encourage dogmatism in them. With luck and help, that little girl might easily turn-out very different to the person you suggest she'd become.

Music giveaways with weed aren't legal in Washington. Another idea squashed by the man. agh.

@6 (myself)
According to snopes.com, reports of fentanyl laced weed cannot be substantiated. People who reported bad experiences had also consumed other drugs including alcohol.
