Well I am Partial to Jolly Ranchers
Organizing the pantry at my day job and decided to get rid of a few cases of Jolly Ranchers gummies. I know. Not healthy. Contains food coloring additives that are banned in Europe and tons of sugar. Better than nothing, though. Might make someone happy.
It always amazes me how fentanyl makes people lose their inhibitions. I’m handing out the candy and people go on with their smoking as if a bald weirdo in a leather jacket on a fancy bike has not pulled up next to them. The candyman. Will not be trying this with the meth crowd.
Now that Seattle has kicked the largest group of drug users away from downtown and then more recently off of the corner of 12th and Jackson the users have just moved a block away to King Street in front of Lam’s Seafood.
Was handing out the candy in front of Lam’s and I gave some to a Vietnamese grandpa and his two small grandchildren. I did not have the experience of seeing a drug bazaar outside of the supermarket when I was that age. Kids grow up fast these days.
Smell the Glove
Remember the hysteria drummed up by police departments across the country who claimed transdermal exposure to fentanyl was causing cops to be exposed? It was all a lie. Well, Excel Supply Company is now marketing gloves with “protection against fentanyl.” Gloves are great protection against a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean that touching fentanyl with your bare hands will do anything. Excel does have patents on glove technology for people who are allergic to the gloves, though.
