BAYONNE -- A woman and her daughter who were found dead in their Bayonne home earlier this year died of an accidental drug overdose, the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office said yesterday.

Sad all around. RIP.
Are you implying that this country suffers from some sort of social pathology?
Get used to the new normal.
So you take an illegal substance that depending on the street purity can kill you over years or right away.....and it’s an accident? Like playing Russian roulette. If you pull the trigger on a loaded chamber, it is not an accident that you brain paints the wall. These 2 sound like they would use a 1911 with one round to play that game
No, now in NJ, as the children of wealthy families succumb to drug overdoses (not the case here), the push is on to prosecute the dealers.
As for these two, I’m sure the government is saving a lot of freebie money with them out of the picture; stop with your “civilized” expectations.
A single drug overdose killed 2 people?
That must be one powerful drug...
“Freedom!”
No you scumbag. Drugs are MURDER. You and your efforts to make drugs more available will KILL PEOPLE and WRECK LIVES.
You are like the liberals, full of wonderful "good intentions" without a d@mn clue as to what happens in real life when those "intentions" are implemented.
Your contribution to history will be to add to the body count. You are a symptom of the sickness now destroying this nation. It is no accident that Anti-Christian Governmental Policy and Gay Marriage is on the ascendency at the same time as your Dope Pushing efforts.
Take it easy, guys. It seems you’re both on about the same thing. And I’d hate to see you get banned, DL. You know. “No personal attacks”.
Clearly false - all sorts of things that kill people are rightly legal.
My reason to not use drugs is that I don't want to risk getting addicted or dying, and those reasons will remain if drugs are legalized; it's unlikely (to say the least) that anyone who is not deterred by the risk of addiction and death is deterred by the risk of jail.
