It's not a "War on Drugs"

It's a war on stupidity...

Two West Niagara teens are in critical condition and a third is in hospital after eating seeds from a poisonous plant.

Police say the three boys, ages 14 to 17, were found in incoherent and unresponsive states on Sunday night. They apparently ingested the seeds of the poisonous Jimson weed plant on purpose.
Now, I know the leftbot solution here... would be to set up a "safe-ingestion" site.
Jimson weed, also known as thorn apple, stinkweed, and angel's trumpet, grows throughout the Niagara region. The plant is often used as a recreational drug and can cause hallucinations, delirium, and disorientation.

An overdose can cause seizures, respiratory failure, and death.
I'm thinkin' there has to be a better solution.

Yeah... there's a solution. Flood the market with uber-potent versions of common "recreational" drugs. Darwin awards to follow for all the morons who take themselves out of the gene pool voluntarily.

A safe injection site should be set up immediately in Niagara so we can get these kids on heroin.

In this case, since the stuff can be bought legally at plant nursery's around the province, you might start making it a little bit harder to get hold of.
