  1. 4 of the top 5 states with the highest number of drug overdose deaths are the Republican-led states of Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

  4. EX-FELONS can be teachers in a class room? Not paid right? Not by any school district.

  5. Right on! What I've been arguing for a little while now and it is awesome to see people were way ahead of me.

    Note however, chemical makeup and body weight are not considered with street dealing but by that stage the purpose is just the same as going to a "legit dealer" and the battle of wills from transfer forward is also the same from what I've witnessed. So, if the chemical ranges of lethality can be known perhaps the personal risk assessment will prevent the walk or ride to slum city. Don't get me started on the rationale of what makes street better than Star Trek, we have nowhere near the numbers of pure people around to warrant the debate; it might be why they've got to crank up the dosage.

  6. Most of these drugs are pharmaceuticals. Legal. No LSD or shrooms on this because those are the non toxic and will wake you up. What a moral failing

  7. Nalaxon doesn't work on street dope! Quit saying it does. Today's street dope is cut with tranquilizers, and Benzodiazepine

  8. HOW ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN THE BORDER, YOU KUNTZ.

  9. More of this and less drag queen story hour

  10. It's not an opioid crisis, it's a fentanyl crisis. Call it what it is. Other opioids are just fine.

  11. It's called fentanyl. TRUMP2024
