A charity working with homeless people in Auckland, New Zealand unknowingly distributed candies filled with a potentially lethal dose of methamphetamine in its food parcels after the sweets were donated by a member of the public
This headline.. its almost as if its implying that its only a problem because they used a "potentially lethal" amount. Like if they had just a more reasonable amount, it wouldn't be an issue.
Good luck getting the real thing. I could buy some normal candy and a roll of food-safe paper, and sell it for hundreds of dollars. Or add cyanide too, just to ensure the customer won't complain when it doesn't get them high.
Although the ADHD joke is spot on - ADHD gets treated with amphetamines, and straight up meth is used for the most severe cases (I myself am on dextroamphetamine for my ADHD)
Goddammit you just “proved” all of the pearl clutching Halloween-terrified parents right who obsessively dug through their kids’ candy after trick or treating because they just knew that everyone was giving out drugs and needles. Now they will feel even more justified in their stupid quest.
She actually never took any candy, it just wasn’t her thing. She’s always been a very scared and paranoid person who honestly believed any moral panic/hoax that she either saw on TV, heard from a friend, or got in a 2000’s style chain email forward.
My entire childhood was a constant stream of “no you can’t do that because it’s dangerous because I heard that….” that people were hiding in the parking lot of Wal-Marts all across the country with a bottle of “perfume” that they would jump out and spray you with. But really it was some chemical that would make you pass out, so then they could kidnap you and rape you.
I am not making that up and she was still saying it around 10 years ago, when I was like yeah we need to maybe not talk/visit as much.
