Time for some DP Dot Com investigative reporting from the frontlines of America’s so-called war on drugs. This news story is regarding the mint powder candy manufactured by Hershey Brothers and the glassine packages they are sold in.
Police alarmed at candy in cocaine-like packs
Just as a quick aside, have any of you wondered why the government doesn’t prosecute the corporations that manufacture the glass crackpipes and the tiny ziploc bags. What the hell else are you going to do with a crackpipe?
Seeing candy being sold retail in this manner just turned a lightbulb on in my head. The production process that refines narcotics, opiates and stimulants into consumable products requires an infrastructure. Companies like Hershey Bros., Nestlé and Cadbury/Schweppes have the factories around the world to receive the raw materials and convert them into street ready drugs. They also have the delivery mechanisms that transport their legal “candy”. Why wouldn’t they fill a fleet of tractor trailers up with that “nose candy”?
Big Chocolate is big business, just like oil, tobacco and medicine. The companies I just mentioned wield tremendous economic and political influence globally. So if they wanted to refine drugs they could do so without a person to stop them and if they want to give their over the counter sugar-laden confections the appearance of illicit drugs they can do the same. Are you prepared to tell the sugar dealers that you will no longer be an addict to their corn syrup high in fructose, or their evaporated cane juice (for all you organic motherfuckers)?
If you are a true American you will get high on anything you choose. Sugar, alcohol, cough syrup, house paint or powdered peppermint candy. It’s all some of us can do to escape the realization that we are simply the mouse running on the wheel inside of the cage. All I know is that the United States is filled up to the gills with narcotics, opiates and stimulants. None of the raw materials for these drugs are farmed here, but the end products find their way to our street corners and living rooms. Just like with rap music, the drug business follows the same guidelines, no matter if it’s Jay-Z or Frank Lucas the game belongs to the manufacturer and the distributor, never the retailer.
“We’re not candy. Even though we look so fine and dandy. When you’re sick, we come in handy BUT….we’re not CAAAAANNNNDDDDY.”
I so HEART you for this one. That’s some old school for your azz. LMAO!!!
something tells me Busta Rhymes loved this commercial ….
Times sure have changed. And I’m not even that old! Everyone’s just getting so damn paranoid. I mean what happened to those candy cigarettes and shit? Weren’t they just bubble gum? It’s rare you see those anymore, and I guarantee it’s for the same exact reason as the “crack”mints.
Hershey lost though. Not even because of this, but because they’re outsourcing to Mexico. They’re laying off a whole crapload of workers from their various factories spread throughout Pennsylvania, and the stockholders are not happy. Sell, Sell, Sell!
If Milton S. Hershey was still alive today, he would NOT be happy with the way his company is turning out.
Those aren’t crackpipes; those are just glass cases for the miniature roses they sell at the corner store counter.
LMAO @ the Underwriter.
But serious though, good question posed. Why are the manufacturers allowed to make paraphernaila and stores able to sell it? Then the dude walking down the street with his crack pipe and $10.00 rock’s the one who goes to jail.
sad enough back in the day my dad(who had a coke problem ) told my mom who had a tooth ache to but a little bit of coke a her molar
thanks for an excellent publish!
