It's hard to keep up with what drugs you like and what drugs you don't like at The Stranger.

Maybe you folks can get together and make a list for us, so we know which drugs are the good ones to take and which ones are the bad ones. Thanks in advance!

While you're at it, please state why the good drugs are good, and the bad drugs are bad.

Thanks again!

Pretty much always against meth, I'd say - though I don't want to put words in the editorial staff's mouthes. Or a pipe for that matter.

Um, reading the rest of the story, do you think the broken bones, fractured skull and pneumonia helped? I'd say that kid was pretty doomed - meth swab or no.

The Stranger has been consistently anti-meth and it's hard to think of a proper adverb to describe how pro-pot they've been. I think they're generally cool with E too.

Reason number whatever for not reusing a q-tip, for anything, ever. Ick.

#2 & #3 I'm pretty sure no 8 year olds have died after their mother cleaned his/her nose with a q-tip last used to clean her bong. In fact, find me a case of ANYONE dying directly from pot use.

I don't see how you can clean anything with a *used* q-tip. :P
