Opiate
OPIATE, n. An unlocked door in the prison of Identity. It leads into the jail yard.
2009 Update: A strong narcotic, such as sobering news from overseas.
"The mob is the opiate of the masses"- Friedrich Engels
That Nessa got here first, I was going to say that Opi ate my piece of chocolate pie. Guess now we can go over to Mexico and indulge as it's legal there, Opi and all are eating and otherwise using it ..

Icy you must be mistaken. Think back, think back, think back...
Minka, are you on nutmeg?
You're right, Karen, though people have so many opiates these days and, like Ariel said, whatever gets you through.
