Officials warn about candy-lookalike 'rainbow' fentanyl ahead of Halloween

The Drug Enforcement Agency has also issued a warning on so-called rainbow fentanyl.

www.goodmorningamerica.com

Fentanyl is a scourge on our community BECAUSE of the war on drugs/drug laws/opioid epidemic caused 100% by big pharma.

China and Mexico are only filling a void by providing us with a cheap, powerful and deadly synthetic opiate.

Americans are going to get high. Period.

It CAN change for a lot of folks. We just have to want to change the culture from the accepted negatives. Maybe the fentanyl scurge of death will wake enough people up?

We need more respected people speaking out against the intoxication nation mindset. People speaking out and PSA's over the years, (along with a lot of lung cancer ,) changed minds and attitudes towards smoking. Smoking cigarettes is rare these days. We can do this with drugs and alcohol also.

BTW - This was my favorite anti-drug commercial from the 80's/90's...

Good Luck.

If drug testing in schools is effective, then it should be mandatory for 100% of students and staff, no exceptions, no excuses. Test everyone on school grounds, period.

Do you have a point with these posts? No one is arguing fentanyl or drugs in general are good for anyone. That doesn't mean they should be controlled like they are.

We had the same stipulation during the 90's and 2000's D.A.R.E. induced cultural hysteria, when the nightly news warned parents about friends pushing low quality "pot" and kids huffing freon from the family's home conditioners. https://www.kfvs12.com/story/6861244/kids-huff-freon-to-get-high/

In fact the same stipulation came with just attending school everyday. If they suspected, the SRO would be there to escort you to the nurse and they searched your locker if you peed dirty. Several kids got caught with drugs that way. They even had dogs walking the halls one day after a girl got caught with cocaine.

Never heard of anyone actually getting drug tested at a dance, just alcohol.

I'm no Karen... but today is actually scary.

Weed is at it's most potent and heavy use is becoming culturally accepted... Kids are sharing THC gummys at lunch and buying adderall online... Fentanyl can kill with a touch and can be mixed in anything or on any surface. If any decade actually needed the more sane lessons from D.A.R.E... it's now. The local drug dealer isn't the second year Senior or a scruffy dude in a funny smelling van... it's the teenage girl with the hip parents and unsupervised internet access.

You are never going to elicit a cultural shift. This is a delusional idea. Humans have been altering their reality since we climbed down outta trees.

Many of our hardline Christian/Catholic members would be surprised to learn that the origins of many of their religious "miracle" stories, traditions and practices started with the use of hallucinogens/mind altering natural chemical substances.

Catholic wine.....had ergot in it(think LSD) along with many other substances. That swinging metal thing with incense burning.....used to have marijuana in it. The burning bush.....may have contained DMT(Moses might have been stoned off his ass when that bush talked to him....shocker)

Stop trying to control the behavior of others.....you may find it has absolutely no impact on your life.

Sounds like you just narrated a cultural shift among Christians. Culture shifts are generally not swift, but keep in mind nobody is being absolutist here. Yes *some people* get high, but not *all people* get high. What's the cultural differences there?

Drug use impacts everyone, as it directly leads to crimes from theft to murder. Yes, this is not exclusive to drug use. Yes, not every drug user steals to support their habit, etc. Again, nobody is talking absolutes. But of course drug use has ripple effects for the community. Making it illegal has been a failure, but pushing for cultural shifts seems pretty reasonable to me, given the costs to both invididuals and society. People used to think it was cool to own other people for the vast majority of recorded history as well, yet that's pretty widely frown upon today...

I was shopping at Horners this afternoon in Alex, and as I was checking out one of the stock clerks handed the cashier two used aerosol whip cream cans. Both were void of nitrous. Manager says its getting worse here each month.

Smoked weed for 30 years till it became a problem with employment. Didn't smoke for 20 years to keep a job. Nowadays, smoking weed helps more with my cancer than most of the prescribed drugs. If only Eli Lilly grew marijuana again.

There is no such thing as a “victimless crime” or it wouldn’t be criminal.

I I buy a bag of weed from a buddy. I drive home. I sit in my back yard and roll/smoke a joint. I get tired and go inside and go to bed. (after I eat an entire bag of cheetos )

Show me the victim. (other than the poor bag of cheetos.)

 

[Cameramonkey]

In many companies. And even the military, (as I recall) EVERYBODY is in the pool of test subjects. It shouldnt matter what your position is. whether its C level, grunt, student, teacher, etc. If random drug testing is a thing, EVERYONE there should be subject to it. Even the owner of the company. (though that last one is often omitted.)

So lets include the superintendent all the way down to the janitor in the randomness of the testing picks.

If your buddy grew it, probably nobody. Unless word gets out and he gets robbed and/or murdered. If he bought it, from where? A *lot* of murders in urban areas are over weed. Well trodden ground that if it wasn't a black market it would likely not result in such violence, at least in the US, but that's the state of how it actually is currently.

Plus it was probably in some dude's ass at some point.

That would explain the weird aftertaste... LOL

 

[Cameramonkey]

And to put a finer point on BBI's example, pretty much all of the negatives are strictly because its illegal. If it wasnt illegal, there would be no victim. If everyone could grow weed like they do tomatoes, we wouldnt have many of the problems we do today.

And for the record, pot just isnt my thing. I've been in the circle and just passed it to the next guy. No harm no foul.

I prefer shooting nyquil rectally for the best buzz.

Sadly your scenario isn’t used by every person that smokes pot. Now if you could guarantee every druggie would use this scenario then you may have a point.
