In the war on drugs, the drugs are winning
Tam:
I knew that the overdose situation was getting dire, but according to a spot I just caught on Today, Ohio is apparently on pace for ten thousand overdose deaths this year.
Wow. Kind of puts the alleged specter of gun violence into perspective.

According to the Virginia Governor, gun violence claims 93 million per DAY. I think we have until Friday.

Meh. the Left blames both opioid deaths and shooting deaths on white folks anyway.

“It’s almost as much hassle to buy a packet of cold medicine now as it is to buy an AR-15, and that doesn’t keep the Montcogomery County coroner from giving interviews in a walk-in fridge full of Fenatanyled corpsicles.”
There you have an indictment of the WOD, gloating over the failure of the WO2A, the darkest of humor and the most hilarious of snark bombs all in one tidy little paragraph package.

I’m trying to find the downside in the self-extinction of the addict under-class. Really seems like a win-win for everyone involved.

Excellent point, qmony. I also enjoy the self-extincting liberals who refuse to have children because they ‘destroy the environment’.
All liberal progressives should neuter themselves today.

@Tim, they are authoritarian progressives. They are NOT liberal toward others in allowing and protecting liberty.

qmony, the more the addicts self-eliminate, the more the government clamps down, to keep us from doing the same.
(The fact we’re not inclined to self-eliminate is irrelevant.)

Mexican drug cartel fentanyl apparently isn’t subject to the strict quality control of USP grade stuff you get from the pharmacist, after scamming a doctor about back pain. Dosage may vary depending on where you get your fix, and the lethal dose for fentanyl is kind of like that for Jimson weed – you only know you crossed the line when your breathing stops. Who could have guessed that would be a problem?

mikee, from what I gather it floats in from china and is then muled across the mex border…but you know all that vitriole from Trump about a wall was just hate, trying to keep out the hard-working folks who just want a better life.
And the Chinese probably just ground up all that drywall and packaged it as pharmaceuticals…not that the users much care what’s in it, meth heads have been knowingly consuming rat poison and drano for decades.
Because you know, whatever gets you where you want to be, which seems to be in the big fridge down at the morgue. As they wish.
