Yes, who doesn't keep a bottle of Fentanyl in the medicine cabinet, right next to the Tums and Advil.

100,000 young Americans dead every year from ‘self-medicating’ with fentanyl, and this poor excuse for a governor thinks it’s too much for people to refrain.
And imagine this overgrown adolescent pretty boy in the White House.

Speaking of Plumpjack... Gavin sort of grew up as a tag-along “Getty grandson” as his father was besties with Gordon and J. Paul Jr. At last count, 2 of 4 of Gordon’s sons and 1 out of 2 of J. Paul’s sons are dead from drug use. So, yes, self-medication is definitely a thing in his world. In a big way.

On the flip side, they’re not cheapskates. I’ve known some kids who’ve trick-or-treated at Halloween the Getty mansion(s) in S.F., and the word on the street is that the Gettys generously hand out multiple full-size candy bars. So there’s that. Lol.

Well tell that devil that’s why I keep aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen around the house, and an assortment of antibiotics for fish.

I know this quote is real but is so jaw-dropping I am in cognitive dissonance.
“Clean and sober is bad, drugged and high is good” certainly does explain a lot of leftists, though.
