Nobody voted for it to be legal for teens[/quote]

You all just made it easier for them to buy it all the while expecting the already overwhelmed and understaffed schools to monitor and regulate it.  [/quote]

Teens always were able to get drugs. It’s not easier. We just now have drugs tgat kill white kids so we all of a sudden care.[/quote]

It is much easier. Don’t make it about something it’s not. It is not about race. [/quote]

It is actually about race and SES. Kids have been dying from drugs for a multitude of decades, but they were either poor in Hagerstown or black, so nobody really cared.

Now W kids are dying by the dozen every year. They buy pills of the net and die in their basements.

MCPS is just informing your because they are not buying the drugs at school and they are not dying at school (in general).

Sure there are still some kids getting pot, but that is not what people are freaking out about.

This is nto the long slow heroine death where it takes years of rehab to finally overdose. This is 1 stupid kid trying 1 pill and dying. [/quote]

The girl who just died, which prompted the MCPS press conference went to Kennedy, which is not a W school, and her mother is a Hispanic immigrant who doesn't even speak English.

Get your head out of your ass and stop pretending this is an issue that only affects white kids. [/quote]

So. Low SES and POC have been dying due to drugs, guns and gangs for 60 years. But now it’s a big deal because W kids are dying. It’s not just heroine in Cumberland anymore. I guess we should have cared when “their kids were dying” and perhaps it would nit have hit your neighborhood.[/quote]

Are you braindead? I pointed out that the most recent OD was a Hispanic girl who went a Silver Spring high school, not W kid.

The literal thing you're complaining about, that POC kids have been negatively impacted by drugs, is why this is high profile right now.

Furthermore, while substance abuse has been an issue, the rates of death with the substance abuse we're seeing with fentanyl is unprecedented. You have no education or awareness of the issue.[/quote]

Are you braindead? Sure the problem is at Kennedy it always has been but nobody cared. You only care because it kill white rich kids TOO. Do you understand the inclusive use of the word TOO.

Really worse than crack? or is it just hitting closer to home? [/quote]

FWIW I've always believed these problems were even worse at the wealthy schools. Everyone says they have a lot of drugs at the W's.[/quote]
