    “why are these teenagers so stressed?!?” The article said.

    Maybe because they have very few opportunities for a happy, prosperous, rewarding life?

    And of course the Republicans use the deaths as a talking point.

      …so they can tighten the screws even further, making lives even less happy, less prosperous, less rewarding. All they ever do is dig deeper into the mudpit they drag everyone down into.

          Most anything negative about drugs is because they are illegal. Fentanyl would be almost unheard of outside the silly war on drugs.

            Let’s be real. The FAULT of %99 of drug deaths is explicitly the DEA & Prohibition.
