You all are so full of it. No drug dealers are pushing fentanyl to children that would die from it AND that would not have the money to buy more with a new addiction.

Just because drug smugglers tried to disguise their haul as candy, doesn’t mean the drug smugglers are going to give it to the neighborhood kids. Also unlikely drug smugglers would even answer the door to give out candy to kids. This is disgusting.

This is called 'smuggling'. You see, drug dealers HIDE drugs in all kinds of ways in order to move them. I assure, they weren't headed to stores or to trick or treat baskets.

The big picture: Spending on Halloween surged over the past decade, as consumers simply got way more into the holiday — $300+ giant skeletons and other spooky stuff to deck out their homes, plus the typical loads of candy that you swear you're going to save for trick-or-treaters. Authorities said they recovered approximately 12,000 fentanyl pills.
