I literally just heard about this and the story is still developing. Mostly posting before I turn in so I don't forget. Will update as more information becomes available. If any of you hear anything, please contribute.

You remember when we were teens and authority figures called weed a "gateway drug" and we laughed at them?
Why aren't people laughing at this shit more?
