That’s what I think about Trump. Daddy gave him ~600 million dollars. But oh no, that ain’t enough. And he must be a bully and fuck up peoples lives. That’s the real turn on.

Because money cannot buy that sweet squirt of dopamine from being an asshole towards someone weaker than you.

I had to post this on Facebook, along with the caption, “ What a brilliant idea! If only people had come to schools when we were kids and told us things like this. Or had while campaigns about it. None of us would have DAREd to ever use drugs”

No it’s good though, because as we know, fentanyl is taken by people at a high point in their lives, when they are suffering neither physical nor mental pain and with fantastic future prospects.

It’s just one of several hobbies to take up, so on hearing that it’s actually a _dangerous_ drug I’m sure they’ll decide against it, and go with their plan B of sailing around the French Riviera or whatever.

(In all seriousness, educating the public on the harm of a drug is of course great, in this case maybe not the thing of primary importance since pretty much everyone, and certainly those who are taking fentanyl, are aware of how deadly it is.  
Honestly, the best approach at this point might be information on how to reduce your risk of OD, rather than a “just say no” campaign. Obviously in tandem with trying to stop the flow of the drug and funding rehabilitation centers)

You were doing well right up until you veered into Outright Communism! You might as well be injecting the aborted fetuses with fentanyl yourself!

So, heroin is going to be the new government approved ADHD treatment?  
'Course none of that ‘Mexican’ heroin maybe some home grown synthetic opiate like ~~fentanyl~~ Trumpanyl!
