I believe that a child would die the first or second time they did it; the article did not mention that this flavored meth was weaker than normal meth. If it were, I would understand the marketing to children theory. This is being done to distinguish a dealer's meth from that made by the competition. If it's really being done at all, that is. It might also make it taste better, but meth addicts don't care, really. I believe this is a scare tactic by the government to induce us to fork more money over for the endless and costly drug war. It's always "haul out the protect children" argument with the DEA. I have never heard of a meth problem among children. This is a scare tactic to get more money from us, much like the hoaxes about dealers supposedly trying to hook children on LSD by making hits look like cartoon characters. Read these and then ask yourself if dealers are really targeting little kids for meth addiction. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/bluestar.asp http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/suckers.asp Meth is a horrendous drug and problem. I don't dispute that. It just simply isn't a drug targeted to children, certainly not children that wouldn't do it because it tastes bad but would if it tastes like candy. Maybe a 17 year old "child." But, here the DEA is trying to conjure up images of 7 and 8 year-olds lured by candy-flavored drugs. Get real. Dealers want to make money. Lots of it. How many little kids have that kind of money? Utterly ridiculous. And who would want to sell to a kid who cannot be trusted to keep their mouths shut as to where they got it? Another DEA lie. I wouldn't expect any less from the DEA. Meth is a horrible drug, but I don’t believe for one second that this
