I know what is going on. The Democrats in California are trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most asinine number of policies enacted in one year.

I don’t know about cancer, but it can surely blow-up your liver in short order.

Tylenol is bad stuff. But like everything,take it in moderation. Meanwhile marijuana is good!

Certain Californians leaving the state to nicer places are indeed carcinogenic. They should come with warning labels that say “this person could be fatal to your state.”

If you take over 4 grams per day.

Used as prescribed, it’s not a threat.

I told this to a Californian last weekend while he was talking about Global Warming, Climate Change and Gay Rights.
“First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother’s eye.”
Finally I heard silence!

That’s an understatement. It can kill you quickly through liver failure.

This is a dangerous drug, but cancer is a bogus reason to nan

If this drug was evaluated under current standards it would never be available over the counter.

But banning it because it’s cancerous? Stretching way way out there cali

“I don’t know about cancer, but it can surely blow-up your liver in short order.”

That is what happened to my long haul truck driving cousin.

Serious back issues from his job and refused to see a doctor.
Took Tylenol like candy. Killed his liver and him.

Crack, prostitutes and free range pooping is good for you.

“it can surely blow-up your liver in short order.”

Somehow that reality has been ignored, and it is used to prevent GI problems from the NSAIDS.

You probably get more of an anti inflammatory response with a pat on the back. The pat on the back is cheaper and does not destroy your liver.

Last fall Zantac, now Tylenol. The lawyers already have ads saying if you took Zantac or a generic and have cancer, call them immediately!! (ignore the fact that correlation does not mean causation!)

Its all part of the libtards’ war against pain. First blame prescription opioids for all of the overdose deaths from illegal heroin and fentanyl. Next declare acetaminophen a carcinogen (I can already see the lawyer ads on TV and most Kalifornia legislators are lawyers). After that go after NSAIDs. They’ve already decriminalized “small amounts of heroin for personal use” so you got a back ache? Shoot dope.

Its amazing that it is still approved, never would be if it came out now.

Easy to overdose on and really fry your liver badly.

“I don’t know about cancer, but it can surely blow-up your liver in short order.”

Probably not true. You would have to take huge amounts to injure your liver. If you drank too much water, it would kill you. CA is, no pun intended, is dead wrong about this. Nearly anything way overdosed can harm you. Carrots contain arsenic. Food snowflakes.

I thought that EVERY product in CA already had a Prop 65 sticker on it. Those damnable stickers and warnings are spilling into other states.

If an honest analysis were done, they’d find those billions and billions of Prop 65 stickers plastered all over everything have not prevented a single case of cancer.

Wanna bet that some trial lawyers’ groups just might be behind the curtain, here?
