Law enforcement officials came across a staggering find after being tipped off about possible drug-dealing: dozens of dog-food-size bags of psychedelic mushrooms worth an estimated $8.5 million at a home in rural Connecticut.

    You really wanna die on this hill huh? You seem to be missing the point IMO. It doesnt really matter what Merriam Webster or even Funken Wagnells define ‘Narcotic’ as. They aren’t out there arresting people. All you’re doing by sticking to your guns on this is making it look like you’re a bootlicker who thinks it’s perfectly acceptable for cops to misidentify substances so they can make their mushroom grow bust look like they took down a cartel. Insisting that words can mean whatever we want them to mean is fine, in a creative writing class. Not when those definitions can be weaponized to ruin people’s lives.

      If that’s what you got from my comment you have serious reading comprehension problems. I am against the war on drugs.
