'Every parent's worst nightmare': Rainbow fentanyl pills resembling candy are found in a LEGO box as DEA warns how 'drug cartels are pushing into new markets by targeting children'
2022-10-06
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Fentanyl packaged like candy and placed into LEGO boxes was found in the back of a car being driven in Manhattan

  • Latesha Bush, 48, from Trenton, New Jersey, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance

  • Officers stopped a vehicle that contained 15,000 multicolored pills

  • The pills, manufactured by Mexican drug cartels, were imprinted with '30 M' to resemble 30mg oxycodone pills, usually prescribed to treat severe pain after an operation or a serious injury

  • Rainbow fentanyl began showing up on the streets on the West Coast in February and has gradually made its way across the country

  • It was first reported to DEA in February 2022, and it has now been seized in 21 states across the country

  • Multicolored pills are similar looking to party drugs and are meant to be more appealing so the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel can cultivate a new market among younger people

#5  I thought that we cared about children. Or do we only care about "the children" when it is a convenient political stick to beat opponents with?
