Republicans up and down the ballot have been using “fentanyl” as their

Wow. Not holding anything back in the best way possible.
Whoa! That is intense – truly inspiring!
Wow! How's Aadland gonna come back from that?
Love this. I was a little afraid that Petterson would run from her family history of addiction and recovery, when the odious Peter Boyles and other KNUS apparatchiks began referring to her as "Heroin Barbie". But she's saved her big guns for these last weeks. Kudos to her and her mom Stacey!
Super effective……for those still with a frontal lobe not MAGA-fied.
Honesty about addiction is the best policy all around, and kudos to Petterson for sharing her painful family story. Most Republicans can relate; 3-8% of Coloradans report having a substance use disorder ( the variation in % is by age and by substance, with alcohol use among adults as the highest rate). So Republicans are as affected by substance abuse as any others. The Family Secret isn’t really secret anymore.
This shared experience of substance abuse won’t stop talk radio pundits and politicians from saying vicious things about Petterson, including “ Heroin Barbie”. But that’s just a business model to them.
As far as the Final Fentanyl Bill, I think it’s pretty reasonable. I particularly like the emphasis on recovery and treatment, and the possibility of erasing felony convictions in that process. I like the mandate for medical detox in jails. The norm has been the “cold turkey” method, and some have died from it.
