I thought the candy I bought from the kid on the corner was just mislabeled...
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

In a statement, DEA agent Javier Pena noted that Affolter's pot ring, which operated under the name Beyond Bomb, was "not only illegal, but potentially tragic," since "innocent children will somehow get their hands on these products and think they are just normal candy or soft drinks."

Tragic?

heh. Hardly.

Ain't like it's gonna kill anybody.

Like a pint of liquor might.

hilariously funny packaging..

Damn, gotta give the guys credit for being creative. I wonder how much time they're going to do for this. I have a feeling they'll be made examples of.

There isn't anything that a drug dealer won't do to make a dollar. Not even if it hurts or kills the innocent.

"Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense." Winston Churchill

That sounded like a early 80s school propaganda film.
