I’m gonna cut right to the chase here:

Something hilarious is trending on twitter right now and I need to get it out of my system.

GOD I LOVE LOCAL JOURNALISM.

Okay, here’s how it started:

Looks like a normal teen’s bedroom, right? Think again. Coming up on @KMOV, we’ll show you what parents should be looking for so they can identify signs of drug use. I was shocked at what I found in this room!!! #stl #n4tm

Sooooo they staged what they think a stoner teenager’s room would look like, complete with a “Mile 420” sign, cause, you know, every teen who hides drugs would also blatantly advertise that they smoke weed, apparently.

Expectedly, Twitter is having a field day:

The adults putting this room together: "Tie-dye wall covering, check. Mile 420 sign, check."

The “Mile 420” sign indicates that whoever lives here doesn’t actually smoke pot, just like the “Kink Palace” sign I had on my dorm room door indicated that no sex was actually occurring inside.

They really just inflated a blow-up mattress in an empty conference room and thought we'd only notice the tie die taped to the wall and the mile 420 sign.

Tag urself, I'm the copy of Catch-22 on the bookshelf because #teens love snorting grass and reading 60-year-old war novels

the incredibly shitty office carpet is a bigger red flag for being a deranged criminal than the drug stuff imo

Now, I am the BIGGEST proponent of reading/watching the story before you’re going to bitch about it. However, I have yet to find a way to watch the story in full online—perhaps intentional?—so miss me with this sass:

Let’s talk about that ^^^ though. You’re telling me that to tell a story about Fentanyl, an incredibly dangerous and deadly drug, you staged a stereotypical pot-themed bedroom, thus perpetuating the narrative that all weed use is lethal and the gateway to a life of addiction?? In a state where medical marijuana is legal? Yep, sounds like Missouri!

@paigehulsey Ah yes! 420, which is a number commonly associated with *checks notes* counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl

If you want to learn about Fentanyl sans tapestries hung with blue painters tape, check out this incredible podcast from Vice & Spotify:

Well bitches, this sets the record for fastest GMB I’ve ever written.

Stay bitchy, learn about the medical and equally valid social benefits of weed, how marijuana is very much tied to race issues, oh, and if you’re anti-weed but pro-alcohol, I BEG you to click here. (And don’t do Fentanyl.)

Until next time,

xo,

Lily
