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!

Thanks again!
Posted by BallardDan | September 4, 2007 6:48 PMPretty 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.

Posted by raindrop | September 4, 2007 7:59 PMThe 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.
Posted by Gitai | September 4, 2007 10:28 PMUggh. What a horrible horrible thing! :(
Posted by Kristin Bell | September 4, 2007 11:32 PMReason 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.
Posted by monkey | September 5, 2007 6:56 AMI don't see how you can clean anything with a *used* q-tip. :P
