News10.net reports of a new psychedelic drug that’s invading our local high schools. It’s called 2C-I and drug enforcement agents say the drug is so new they are just now beginning to track them down.
“It takes 20 minutes to kick in,” the boy said. “You get energy, you want to do something. Things morph and you see colors. Everything seems weird and ironic.”
Sad, isn’t it? The poor youth of today…they still have no idea what the word “ironic” means.
It appears, however, that you need four things in order to obtain this drug. So parents, read closely, Gordon Taylor of the Drug Enforcement Administration provides us with a checklist:
“You need a computer with Internet access, you need a money order or credit card, you need a mail delivery location like a home or post office box, and fourth and most importantly, you need the desire to play Russian Roulette with your brain.”
Get all that? If you can prevent your child from having just ONE of those things you may thwart the onslaught of this horrible drug. Tall task I know. I mean, your kid has to have a computer to do his/her homework, right? And you can’t really get by these days without an address. So that just leaves us with a money order/credit card OR the desire to play Russian Roulette with your brain.
No one said parenting was easy. Nevada Union Principal Marty Mathieson had this advice:
He said to know the child’s friends, don’t hestitate to stay up and greet children when they return from being out with friends, keep alert to their child’s behavior, and a child’s room should not be off-limits to parents. Mathieson also warned that if a child’s friends are partiers, don’t think the child isn’t with them and not going along with whatever they’re doing.
Nothing curbs behavior more than the lowering of expectations.

The drug is just like waking up and reading the Sunday funny papers, only to find ads for fun elective surgury attached to Calvin & Hobbes? That doesn’t sound fun. But the ordering process intrigues me.

Correction DMZ, Russian Roulette is usually played with a wheel and ball and croupier named Ivan.

They have that at Jackson Rancheria, right? Because last time I walked in there wearing a mink and a fuzzy hat, they sent me to the poker tables.

Did that DEA guy get paid per word? Why didn’t he just say “you get it on the internet?” The way he lists out the elements makes it sound like he’s discovering not only a new drug problem but also a new way of acquiring goods and services called the internet.

Also liked this quote: The scary part about it,” said Assistant Principal Bruce Kinseth, “Is that it’s easily concealed so it might literally be under our noses and we might not know it.”
I know it’s snotty but I have to ask, “literally”?

Nice work, Meg.
Plus, they also mention that it “smells funny” earlier in the article. So if it WAS “literally” under your nose you would know it, right?
I literally died laughing when I read this.
