    If that were the topic, you would have put it in the OP. Yes, you can definitely die from a gunshot. No, you can't die from overdosing on pot. What have more children died from: pot overdoses or gunshots?

    Yup…AFTER I showed your claim that it was buried to be wrong.

    It would be the leading story because 10 KIDS WOULD BE DEAD. Even if they survived, it's still violence

    But 10 kids are not dead. They aren't even seriously injured.

    This thread has failed. It's a bogus title, and the point you are trying to make is nonsensical, and all the more dumb considering that this event HAS NOT BEEN IGNORED.

    I specifically said that if 10 kids had been "injured" from the shooting it would be the top story on the news but since 10 kids were "injured" by a Cannabis overdose, not only would it NOT be the top story, it probably wouldn't even be in the 6:30 news program at all.

    The discussion is not just about pot. The discussion is the left's and the media's preoccupation with mass shootings while ignoring other subjects which are as or are more dangerous.

    I don't answer your question because it is a false comparison. I don't want my kid to be killed by either a gun or an overdose of an illegal drug.

    I didn’t infer anything. I simply ask you a question, which you dodged.

    Grazed by a bullet or having some discomfort from a pot edible. Which is worse? Which would you rather have happen to your kid?

    The OP focuses on 10 kids. 10 kids you refuse to discuss because you know the argument is complete garbage. Getting shot or experiencing discomfort from a pot edible. Which is worse? Try, for once, to answer honestly. But, hey, thanks for admitting that the OP is a false comparison.

    We never hear outrage from the gun banning news media either when kids overdose on fentanyl. Why? Because the mostly leftwing media turns the blind eye and is complicit with the illegal drugs pouring over our southern borders.

    The story in the OP has nothing to do with fentanyl. How many kids have overdosed on fentanyl and was it covered for not?

    That's because 10 kids getting injured in a shooting is more serious than 10 kids eating some edibles. They aren't injured. They aren't dead. It's serious, yes, and I'm sure whomever the edibles came from will be in some serious trouble, just like they have been in other situations across the country where kids have gotten into someone's pot stash.

    But you're trying to equivocate two things that are simply not related or equal. And unsurprisingly, you have failed at it.

    I'd be far more concerned if 10 kids were shot at my child's school than 10 kids overdosed on marijuana edibles. My kids can be street-proofed not to gobble up edibles, but not to avoid a shooter. What does being a Democrat or Republican have to do with anything? Do you think Republicans are going to more concerned about edibles than shootings?
    You strike me as an anti-drug warrior who doesn't realize the "war on drugs" is a complete flop.

    No one is dying from a weed overdose.

    None of these kids were injured. They didn't even need medical attention.

    Let me know when you are ready to discuss the actual OP, @kriman. Why can't we discuss the 10 kids mentioned in the OP?

    We don't hear much about kids overdosing from any kind of drugs because it might expose Biden's failure to keep drugs out of the country.
    His lackeys would have to admit that they turn the blind eye to drugs pouring in over our southern borders and that's never going to happen.

    None of this has anything to do with the 10 kids mentioned in the OP.

    I love it when people cite an increase of drug seizures crossing the border and try to paint it as the government ignoring the drug problem.

    So dumb

    The thread is about lack of coverage over mild to moderate distress to cannabis as compared to coverage of mass school shootings.
    The "shock" and "surprise" that these two types of incidents don't get the same coverage is completely fake. One is far worse than the other. In your opinion which is worse....kids having mild to moderate distress from edibles or kids getting shot up?

    Well to be fair, we didn't care about all the kids who died from Rainbow Fentanyl this past Halloween.
