Cotton Candy Cocaine

Thursday, April 17, 2008

U.S.Federal drug agents say candy-flavored cocaine is a new and troubling development and are hoping to keep it from spreading to the rest of the country after its recent emergence in California.Drug rings have occasionally sold cocaine mixed with candy powder, but investigators said the new product was significantly more sophisticated and lucrative. Cocaine cut with an added flavoring is less potent, but the 1½ pounds seized last month were a full-strength powder into which strawberry, coconut, lemon and cinnamon flavoring had been chemically synthesized.
The flavored cocaine would command $1,100 to $1,400 an ounce on the street, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said after DEA agents and state investigators seized the flavored drugs at two homes in Modesto, Calif. Regular powder cocaine, by comparison, fetches $600 to $700 an ounce, the agency said.
I read this story @ MSNC The accompanying pic looked like what I would expect the sugar to make cotton candy to look like. And I love cotton candy. But have never done drugs. If I have that reaction, I can imagine how easy it would be to get a young naive kid to "just try it". Smart marketing for the drug dealers--bad for anyone who is in the position of being around it. Including the DEA dudes.
But seeing the sick reality of it, I can just imagine some uppity shallow chick making her new boyfriend pay high dollar for the flavored coke. I predict it to happen in a movie
