Fruity Cocaine


I know you are probably saying "What the?!!" Yeah, that's right, candy-flavored cocaine has recently emerged in California. Federal drug agents are hoping to keep it from spreading across the country.

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.

I mean, what are they going to come up with next?? From what I read, flavored cocaine can have a street value that ranges from $1,100 to $1,400 an ounce where as the regular stuff runs between $600 and $800. Since when does it matter how it tastes?!! This is so scary. My main fear is the how this may lure younger clients...
