Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Posted by CoolHandLuke (anonymous) on March 13, 2008 at 12:27 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Ok "coolhandluke", maybe I am not totally "in the know" about all these street drugs and their uses, but, isn't X the date rape drug? Explain to me how young Garrett would have "enjoyed it"?

Rohypnol is the drug typically used for date rape.

Thank you Jacob, you are correct that Rohypnol is the more commonly used drug for date rape, however, so is X. Also, even a small dose of this can quickly dehydrate a body to the point of needing hospitalization and not to mention kidney failure. I guess I just do not understand why one would do that to themselves, or worse yet, to someone else, and I also do not understand how one could encourage this behavior, as in the first comment.

I highly doubt that this kid was planning to do anything with his one evil half pill except eat it himself. Victimless crime, except now I have to pay to keep him in jail for 30 days and the five years probation. Don't you people care about all the money wasted on keeping these drug offenders locked up? I could both care less if this kid had 10 pills of X on him and also if he ate them all and croaked. He is 20, he can make choices for himself. I don't think I really "encouraged this BEHAVIOUR" lifesaver, but that one little half pill will cost the county (you and I) $1,000s of dollars that could be better spent elsewhere than to slap this kid on the wrist...
