Experts warned against America’s speedy switch to legalizing cannabis, particularly for young people

[Vaduz]

Experts warned now the price has arrived.

Weed is for pikers. The new thing is tranq. C’mon people, get with the program.

[dpetty121263]

Just thinning out the herd.

[Openurmind]

Yep, I knew they were lacing it. Everyone told me I was full of crap because “that isn’t legal”.

[usurper]

Experts warned now the price has arrived.

This should actually help the legal pot industry which can't compete with the illegal growers because of the sky high state taxes.

Very few recreational pot smokers want to risk smoking pot positioned with Fentanyl. That's not the bud or the buzz they are looking for.

“Experts warned against America’s speedy switch to legalizing cannabis...”

Except none of the legal cannabis is doctored with fentanyl.

[mass55th]

But, but...smoking marijuana is a “victimless crime.”

That [lacing drugs with Fentanyl] sounds reasonable. Because the Democrats are wanting to get rid of their Black voting base and replace them with Mexicans and South Americans. According to Limbaugh before he died, the Democrats were wanting to get rid of both their Black and Union bases and replace them with “immigrants” [wet backs]. But while the Democrats were no longer enamored with Blacks and Unions, the Blacks and Unions still worshiped Democrats. He said this during the reign of obama.

What state inspected/regulated pot store is selling pot laced with fentanyl to folks under 18?

[noiseman]

Reminds me of the Paraquat-laced pot of years ago. Whether Paraquat or fentanyl, there’s one way to make absolutely certain that you won’t be poisoned by adulterated pot. It’s a lot like the way that you can be 100% certain you won’t get pregnant.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Fentanyl laced MJ? Talk about “couch-lock.”

[PGR88]

What has our society become when we can no longer trust our friendly local drug-dealer on the street-corner?

[SpaceBar]

It actually makes the case for legal pot dispensaries where there is ridged quality control and chain-of-custody of their product so the chance of dangerous adulterants is low... about the same as buying a tainted bottle of beer.

[1Old Pro]

there’s one way to make absolutely certain that you won’t be poisoned by adulterated pot.

Yep, buy it from the government stores, hmmmm

[Gunslingr3]

All the evidence you’d ever need is right there in the article: “It is thought that fentanyl has been mixed with marijuana flowers and THC gummies.”

Ironclad.

[Vaduz]

Should help the legal pot industry.

Not a chance legal pot industry of illegal pot industry the cartels own them it’s why the states don’t have a chance pf making any type of profit.
Very few recreational pot smokers want to risk smoking pot positioned with Fentanyl.
Recreational pot smokers go the more for the buck it’s not like they have the highest IQ especially the younger set it’s why they die at a higher rate. (no pun)

[Boogieman]

None.

[Boogieman]

Yes, it does.
