    This. This is why people hate the news now. They just parrot things and write clickbait headlines (this article happens to not have one. AP is pretty good with that). Even if you don’t know it consciously like I do you can feel it. And I’ve been noticing that companies phrase their press releases to specifically take advantage of it.

      “Gas station heroine” is 100% a clickbait term that nobody uses outside of editorialized garbage like this. Articles like this bury real information about tianeptine deeper under piles of unhelpful fear mongering. Prohibition doesnt work for real people, and this article is just peal-clutchers begging daddy government to expand prohibition.

        If gas station heroine is a real thing i 100% tell you alot of people call it that. It would be like getting gas station weed.
