A man was dragged from his car by enraged bystanders and shot after he plowed a vehicle into a crowd in Los Angeles, leaving seven people critically injured and at least 23 others hurt outside a nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.

Cameras in the area are still being canvassed, but the incident appears to have been intentional, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation said the suspect was kicked out of the venue for being intoxicated and disruptive.

    Alcohol is legal while pot isn’t. And I can’t have refills on my sons perscription, or fill it more than 3 days early because someone might “abuse” it. Not supporting an action, just pointing out the absurdity.

        I think I need a note signed by the president to pick up my kids adhd meds early due to a vacation. The pharmacists at my place are good though, they don’t judge or anything, they just can’t do things the computer says no to.

      Not sure what your son takes but when it comes to people freaking out on alcohol, some prescriptions like Xanax have a tendency to make people act worse. I think it’s because people get intoxicated quicker and their brains are like where the fuck am I so they have a tendency to freak out easier. Kind of like a bad trip I guess. I imagine Xanax, Meth, and Alcohol put your odds of something shitty happening at around 1 in 5.

      But on the other hand, it’s dumb that you should struggle to pick up medications. Most of our medical field needs to be re-assessed.

        Xanax and alcohol are both GABA positive allosteric modulators; taking them together greatly strengthens the effects of both

        Adhd stims.
        I don’t mind them requiring a perscription, but all the extra crap is really just gatekeeping from the people who need the meds.
        And yeah, mix just about any med with alcohol and you can abuse it (alcohol generally increases speed of absorption). So the dissonance of it being legal while many other things are illegal is only stronger.

        Xanax is pure death… Kills your mentality slowly but steadily. At least out of my perspective. Fuck doctors who give that to people 😢 lost some good friends to that shit.
