The child would have died either way, jackass. Or does part of the legalization lot include the state childproofing every dispenser in your world.

Why the scare quotes? Are you trying to suggest that it’s not really legal in your state? ?

If you read the article, the child died because they were _making_ drugs in their house.

Without speaking to what should and should not be legal, it’s reasonable to assume that this (along with meth labs exploding) would not happen if such drugs were legal and commercially manufactured.

Okay, we can agree to disagree somewhat on that point. I think it would happen with lower frequency. These types of tragedies owe more to the using than the making of drugs, as there are other dangerous items throughout homes.
