“Police say the young girl and her mother are refusing to cooperate with police to help identify the drug dealer.”

in this case, they deserved to be laughed at.

RE: won’t cooperate to give away identity of drug dealer to child....

I just composed this, for what it’s worth....

Even if it scratch where it itches
And with your married life hitches
And your in-laws are witches
Those clues hidden in niches
can’t be spoken, you b#4%@s
Cause snitches
get stitches.

Just let ‘em die?

The number of people who play Russian Roulette is very small. Sure, once in a while someone will, and it won't go well. But most people avoid that game because the odds are very bad and the potential cost is very great.

Drugs like Fentanyl are "more fun" and "less risky" and so lots, and lots, and lots of people dip their toes in those waters. I would like street drug to be more like Russian Roulette because I want fewer people to dip their toes in those waters.

Sounds like a missed opportunity to cull the herd.

Darn.

This is the message from the government: Party until you pass out and die, but don’t worry, we’ll bring you back to life with Narcan.

There's no denying that simple truth.

The way this is written, it sounds like the mother was there too. Since neither were cooperating with police, I think both were using.

What a strange comment from a confessed degenerate addict who, against the will of her constituents, looted our treasury to hand out free money to her fellow degenerate addicts at Westcare.

Didn’t you also advocate for lowering the restrictions on obtaining opioids in Mohave County?

Funny how you think no one remembers, but God does.

Thank the true God, not the fake one you pretend to pray to, that your 3rd term is almost up!

Reminds me of a Ted Nugent quote:

“Drugs and alcohol lead to prison or death”

Fairly profound from someone who witnessed it all.

">“Is Fentanyl drug dealing legal in any states? I think it’s legal in CA.”

>>Depending on what your idea of illegal is."

I believe drug dealing is illegal in all 59 states. The term implies non-licensed controlled drug sales. However, possession of small amounts of illegally-obtained fentanyl is not illegal in OR and WA; I don't know about CA.

I live in Washington state. When the state got into trying to use the excuse of unknowledgeable possession they opened up Pandora’s box. It is not illegal to possess drugs like morphine or fentanyl, it is illegal to deliver or make it for delivery to other persons.

According to RCW §69.50.401, possession with intent to deliver of any form of a controlled substance included in the statute’s Schedule I or II and classified as a narcotic, is considered a class B felony and upon conviction may be imprisoned for a maximum of ten years, fined, or both. So if it can’t be delivered legally, then how can it be possessed unless it’s a doctor’s prescription? And any prescription drug is legal to be possessed not to be delivered to other persons. Kind of a catch 22.

The federal government needs to arrest all fentanyl dealers and then execute them by the firing squad. We need to take a page out of Rodrigo Duterte’s playbook.

You know about senate bill 5536?

Blake Decision Senate Bill 5536: Lawmakers voted to amend current drug possession laws by increasing the penalty for possession of controlled substances to a gross misdemeanor. The bill also expands access to substance use disorder treatment, which if completed, can lead to a vacation of a conviction for possession. Those who refuse treatment can be sanctioned with jail time. Senate Democrats said the bill “permanently addresses” the 2021 Washington Supreme Court Blake Decision that removed any criminal penalties for possession. Lawmakers voted that same year to penalize possession charges with a misdemeanor, but that law will expire July 1, 2023. Introduced by Sen. June Robinson, D-Everett, the proposed legislation passed with just 7 votes, for a total of 28-21. Emotional debate on the bill continued late into Friday with 15 Democrats voting against the measure, and several Republicans voting in support of the bill.

A 12-year-old getting in possession of fentanyl is definitely a rare occurrence for us,” said Jon Bush, deputy chief with Santa Cruz police.

Is an inability to speak a requirement for cops?

“You know about senate bill 5536?”

That’s the bill I was referring to in my description of legal carry. But when I thought through it, the only people that can get the controlled substances like morphine or fentanyl can not have it delivered according to the temporary bill that expires middle 2023 except by legal medical sources. You can have it, but you can’t get it on the street.

So with that in mind, is it legal to carry controlled substances for personal use if a doc says you need it? I would think so. I would be one of the GOP members that would agree with this bill. It defines illegal transportation and the possibility of street sales but not medically determined use substances.

The original discussion I thought was determining more the illegal transportation and not legal possession. Anyone with a prescription can have their own drug for their own use. But if I read the info correct, it appears that with this temporary law they have erased any control of controlled substances that they will have to re-determine with another law put on the books NLT the middle of this year. I.E., more of Pandora’s box.

And a side note...how is this going to effect the locations the government has set up for addicts to used to shoot already on the street, called safe injection sites, since 2017? The lid to Pandora’s box is creaking. Open invitation for illegal use as it had to get there somehow. Oops! By the middle of this year, they’ll have booths for sale when this law expires and it goes open season. Welcome to Alice’s wonderland.
