You are the president of the nanny state, that’s for sure! Make sure those kids are off your lawn. Use a missile or Chinese throwing stars, but get em’ off!

Donald Trump, notably, hasn’t said anything about drug policy per se.

He’s probably like I am. If someone wants to sacrifice their life for a good high, that’s fine with me. It cleans out the gene pool too!

Don’t know.

Only drugs I am familiar with are Tylenol and Advil for an occasional creaky knee.

Yet we left the poppy fields in Afghanistan alone when we had the chance to actually significantly hurt the heroin supply.

That would be more drug war stupidity. In fact they did start doing that and I predicted it would be a huge mistake. Taking away the only viable cash crop that the majority of the population depend on to live is a sure fire way to turn them against us and the government.

Perhaps the Vietnamese and anyone else who wants drugs can just move to Colorado.

They do. Then they come back to Texas with 100 lb bales. Not like there is a problem with having a 100 lb bale of weed in your car, according to libertarian drug advocates. If we ban that we'd have to bad transporting your suits from the dry cleaner's.

You mean if injected? Within a second or two. If dust is respirated? Within 10 seconds. Skin exposure? A couple minutes.

No it doesn't. It just causes huge problems for all the normal people who have to support a subculture of brain dead retards with criminal tendencies.

Really. This appears to be a self correcting problem...

Instead of calling them an ambulance, keep walking. They knew what they were doing when they bought the stuff, so allow them to enjoy the full flavor of it.

Some synthetic opioids are so potent that first responders have been killed just touching them.

That should have been backed up by some further information rather than just being stated as a fact in the article. In June 2016 the DEA released this warning which stated that two Atlantic City detectives had been exposed and affected by fentanyl. If first responders really had been killed before then the DEA would have referred to it in their release. So if it did happen it has been since June.

(And I don't count a drug sniffing dog getting into an open package and dying from it a first responder death if that is what the author is writing about.)

If someone wishes to use marijuana for medical purposes, they should just move to a state where it is considered legal already. Just leave Texas out of this mix.

I’d say great. Give everyone who does drugs a LARGE dose of the stuff for free.

nothing new...

U-47700, street name pinky or pink, is an opioid analgesic drug developed by a team at Upjohn in the 1970s[1] that acts as a selective agonist of the µ-opioid receptor with a Kd value of 5.3 nM compared to 910 nM for the κ-opioid receptor[2][3] and has around 7.5 x the potency of morphine in animal models.[4][5][6]

U-47700 is a structural isomer of the earlier opioid AH-7921[7] and the result of a great deal of work elucidating the quantitative structure–activity relationship of the scaffold. Upjohn looked for the key moieties which gave the greatest activity[8] and posted over a dozen patents on related compounds, each optimizing one moiety[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] until they discovered that U-47700 was the most active.[17]

U-47700 became the lead compound of selective kappa-opioid receptor ligands such as U-50488, U-51754 (containing a single methylene spacer difference) and U-69,593, which share very similar structures.[18][2] Although not used medically, the selective kappa ligands are used in research.[19][20]

Good advice! LOL.

Back in high school (over 40 years ago) a guy asked me and a friend of mine if we wanted some "MDA." My buddy asked him, "What does it do?"

The genius tells us, "First, it feels like your ears are melting, then like your head's on fire, and then the whole world just explodes!"

I kid you not. Some sales pitch, huh? We declined the purchase, and I've never once questioned the call.

God invented and makes alcohol all the time. I remember, when I was a kid, the drunk flies gorging on the fermenting berries under a mulberry tree. Then people said, hey, I want some of what the flies have. But little did they know, their own body produces alcohol when glucose meets yeast in their guts.

Kinda weird. Dab-on drugs.

Or spray it into a large crowd. What a bio-warfare tool.

Does anyone know what happened to a lawsuit from Nebraska against Colorado for their drugs coming across state lines?

Stupid Florida just voted medical marijuana. Two lib idiots pushed it, Charlie Crist and his attorney buddies Morgan and Morgan (for the people guys).
