Especially college students alcohol and 18-22 year olds don’t mix.

I wasn’t there but I had some friends that saw a temple U kid fall to death a few years ago at a party I think.

A big reason there isn’t vyvanse issues is because it’s still under patent and only brand name so it’s much more expensive so people avoid it if they can.

But I think the patent expires this year

I can think of way more drunk kids that fell off of stuff and died than people going crazy on mushrooms

Considering the guy was just moving pot and mushrooms I’d be surprised too

When I was in Scranton rent was pretty cheap

What exactly would a mass forced suboxone treatment be? That sounds kinda insane to force meds on people. I’m all for offering free addiction medication I mean we spend way more on our tax dollars on the effects of addiction than if we just gave free medication but forcing people into treatment doesn’t sound great

I used to love my trips from Scranton to Philly during the fall

That shit kinda blows my mind. Like I understand it’s not actually illegal but it feels and sounds hella illegal for me to just sell some random dude a gun in the middle of some parking lot lol.

If that’s illegal then how do organized crime get arrested for trafficking weapons? It sounds like selling guns is legal to do.

I’ve never really been interested in owning a gun because I know how much trouble it can instantly get you in with drugs around. I have a long history with drugs in my younger years so I wasn’t trying to get hit with some crazy sentence just because I had a gun with me the same time as drugs in my car.

I kinda want to learn more about gun buying process. Maybe guns are taxed highly once they are assembled and regulated as a gun but you can get around this by making them yourself? Idk.

Seems like just doing private sales and reselling them would have been much easier for this guy

I mean I think it’s pretty clear our justice system is set up to be punitive and not actually for reforming. I would argue that felons are more likely to be violent after experiencing jail/prison but that’s a whole other discussion.

Thanks for your point. One thing that’s annoying is politics is when people don’t understand what they are talking about. I’m just trying to gain a better understanding of guns and their laws to inform my own opinions.

I’ve always been left leaning but I’m for the legalization of drugs and prostitution and kinda feel it would be hypocritical to be for them and against guns. I’m really for less laws and mainly turned off by the Republican Party because of all their regulations on personal freedoms like drugs and abortion.

I think they said felons are fine to buy gun parts since they are not actually a gun

I mean the fact that a felon can apparently just have guns parts shipped to their house then assemble sounds like an issue in the system that should be fixed. Unless your okay with felons having guns. Are pro gun people for felons having rights to guns too? Honest question

So then what do you think the purpose of this guy making guns was?

Is it an easier way for felons to get guns? Is it cheaper? Maybe by avoiding taxes? Idk anything about guns

Generally when people inject their drug they get as high as they will be within a min. It’s pretty rare for someone to be fine then fall out 10 mins later but def can happen if they are really close to overdosing

It kinda sounds like the beginning of the matrix where the robots make people their energy source

I remember hearing of a case basically identical to this and honestly felt terrible to the mother. She was prescribed fentanyl patches which work for 3 days before the meds wear off then you throw away. Her child got into the trash and even tho the patches were basically empty it was enough to kill a child.

I understand being a drug user but a lot of high people don’t seem to treat there drugs the same way sober people treat bleach or any of the other dozens of things in a home that could kill an infant

Tax payers don’t want to pay for it. Maybe one day we will go back to a pre regan America with mental health hospitals but right now no one wants to increase taxes to pay that bill.

A lot of times I didn’t show insurance until my appointment I just explained what I will have
