That's publicized in other forums around here too. It's a truly beautiful piece of satire, and the 2 responses that I saw from the school board indicate that not all of them are morons.

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them?
