Mississippi is confronting an unlikely new drug scourge: Hemp.
Intoxicating, hemp-derived products — which aren’t subject to
testing or packaging requirements — are being sold at gas
stations, corner stores and other retail establishments all
over the Magnolia State. Kids aren’t even barred from buying
mind-altering items like gummies and vapes that contain forms
of THC that are similar to the psychoactive ingredient in
marijuana.
“Principals were complaining to me that kids are vaping
Delta-8, Delta-10 all day — and are high all day
. . .
SURE, ban the Dreadful Scourge. Create entire new
violent criminal black markets. Oh, and the kiddies
WILL get what they want, regardless, or maybe just
switch to crack/meth/fentanyl instead ......
That's the TRUTH.
COPE.
I'm just sick and tired of the neo-Puritan crusaders.
They just make things worse. Hey, the Puritans all
died out three centuries ago - and they were NOT
nearly as "pure" as they pretended .....
Sorry neo-Ps ... it JUST WON'T WORK. You may think
you are doing the Right Thing - but it'll backfire
in your faces and destroy you, your society, your
kiddies, FAR more than the dope. This is what history
has taught. Pay attention.
Hey, not great that the school kiddies are buzzed
all the time - but with the PAP you feed them
these days ... what diff does it make ???
