Is that candy or Ecstasy? Halloween warnings spook parents
Parents across the country may have been spooked by warnings spread through social media in recent days, raising fears that Ecstasy tablets could be mistaken for brightly colored Halloween candy -- potentially putting children at risk.
Police in Jackson, Mississippi, posted about it on their Facebook page, and the warning went viral.
"If your kids get these for Halloween candy, they ARE NOT CANDY," the post said. "They are the new shapes of Ecstasy and can kill kids through overdoses!!!"
The photo showed Ecstasy tablets shaped like dominoes, skulls and Superman's shield, and urged parents, "When it doubt, throw it out."

Right. Like razor blades in apples, which by the way has NEVER happened. Not one documented case of the razor blade myth.
ReplyDeleteNonsense fear mongering.

ReplyDeleteYes, 537, that's why we needed another myth that instills fear and gets around the X ray machine!
