Don't Snort the Pink Cocaine
The hysteria surrounding candy-flavored drugs continues to provide a full-scale model for the rank stupidity of our press and policy-makers:
Federal drug agents have seized cocaine in a variety of designer flavors and arrested three men in Modesto after a 10-month undercover investigation, authorities reported Monday.The cocaine, in strawberry, lemon, coconut and cinnamon flavors, may be aimed at women and a younger, club-going clientele, said Gordon Taylor, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration office in Sacramento. [Modesto Bee]
So cocaine that tastes like strawberries or cinnamon must be for the ladies? This is the sophisticated analysis you get when you call the DEA for insight on the latest drug scare. Strawberries = chicks. Genius.
Fortunately, the Modesto Bee at least concedes an important point I've been hammering since this whole candy-flavored drug scare emerged:
It costs about twice as much and is less potent, he said, but dealers bank on its novelty and taste to sell the product.
Senators Diane Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Grassley (R-IA) went so far as to introduce legislation to increase penalties for candy-flavored meth, claiming that these products target children. Yet, flavored drugs are more expensive and therefore less appealing to young people, who don't have any money. The flavoring also reduces potency considerably, making candy flavored meth and cocaine much safer than their unadulterated forms.
So for those of you with a sweet tooth in your nose, be forewarned: Candy-flavored drugs are weak and overpriced. If you're trying to get high on cocaine, you might wanna stick with the good old-fashioned bitter-tasting white-colored stuff. And if you're looking for a sugar fix, I recommend Hershey's Cookies & Cream™ bars, which cost $1.39 and taste better than cocaine feels. And, finally, if you're trying to protect children, I recommend taxing and regulating drugs so we can better control who sells them, who buys them, and what their ingredients are.
Flavored Drugs
Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 12:55amGive me a break, people who are going to take drugs, just don't care about the flavor. It might be a great selling point, but let's face it, if it's not stronger, who cares. I honestly believe, the whole candy thing is coming from the man, what better way to suppot their story that drugs are aimed at our children ! Oh ! and Bad, Bad .

Comment posted by Anonymous on Sun, 08/17/2008 - 2:18pmsry for the deroggatory statement but no seriously that was an assenign statement. Do you kno what the United States' biggest cash crop for 2007 was? Marijuana. yep thats right that green leafy vegatable substance that so many non violent americans get busted for on a daily bases also made our country a wopping 380 BILLION dollars last year selling it to other countries around the world. anywhere u go govt is corrupt, some just less than others, but it would be in the best interest of our govt to legalize all narcotics for the fact that it can be better monitored, which would cause all drug wars in the states to significantly drop becuz then it would become a sophisticated business rather than some creepy guy u meet an ally..not that ive done that or anything... but anyway they would become like fast food wars instead of having burger king vs. mcdonalds dollar meal wars, ud have Drugs and Stuff vs Nifty Narcotics(patent pending), and instead of locking up everybody that has a form of drug on them and waisting precious tax dollars on inmates that shouldnt be inmates we can tax every drug deal they make and make money OFF of them instead of spending it ON them. and not to mention the psycological preference in humans to do things that they arent suppose to, tho not legal in amsterdam, the laws are alot less strict and look at there crime and drug rates compared to us. granted theres alot of technicallities to be covered for such a matter, international laws, age requirements, the taxing process, manufacturing and distribution, and whole bunch i cant even think of right now. But yea legalize drugs! woo!...and prostitution, not becuz of the fact that i like the idea i can legally pay chicks to suck my..toes.. but becuz of the fact that its the oldest profession in the history of the world and is obviously not gonna stop anytime soon *clears throat*mhm Mr. Client No. 9.
good day
o yea

Comment posted by Anonymous on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 2:56pmI don't know. If somebody made arsenic cherry-flavored, I'd totally be all over it. I would smoke pot if I could only get my hands on some pink strawberry rolling papers. Also, you know what kills me? Fruit-flavored laxatives. I simply can't resist those motherfuckers. Enough said.
This has been a bullshit flavored comment by,

Cocaine
Comment posted by Scott Morgan on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 9:11pmI'm not a fan of cocaine either, but that's beside the point. People use cocaine. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, the proceeds from which currently go directly into the hands of organized crime. This must stop.

Marketing Mistake
Comment posted by Giordano on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 11:15pmI have no sympathy for dealers who adulterate drugs. And this marketing concept hardly seems attractive to health conscious drug users. Food coloring and artificial flavorings in my cocaine? Yuk.
I haven't seen a line of coke since 1980 (I was never a fan, either), but if I saw a line of blue powder on a mirror, I'm not thinking blueberries or cocaine, I'm thinking Comet Cleanser. Yuk, again.

cocaine doesn't have a brain;
Comment posted by rita on Thu, 03/13/2008 - 12:26pmtherefore can't any more be "stupid" than meth can be "evil." Stupid is what the drug warriors think we are to feed us this crap.
Lacking any unbiased studies on the actual effect of illegal drugs on the brain, I think we need to consider the longterm effects of non-use. For example, non-users are often delusional; they seem to have trouble separating reality from fantasy. Also, I'm concerned about the personal lives of non-users; perhaps the non-use of drugs has destroyed their families, which would explain why they feel the need to stick their noses into other people's business.
Just plain dumb

Now flavored ketamine, on the other hand, I would believe.
Comment posted by Anonymous on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 9:23pmWhen I enjoyed cocaine as a young man I liked the taste of it in the back of my throat, and I am sure I am not alone. The hysteria surrounding this, like all drug war propaganda, is fabricated onto a press release and copy-pasted by our lazy media. Now flavored ketamine, on the other hand, I would believe.
