This has never happened. Drug dealers do not give away drugs for free, especially to kids with no income and no independence.

And if drugs are supposedly in Halloween candy, how come we don't see tons of crackheads trick or treating as well? At least the razor blades myth makes some sense because there are sickos out there. No drug dealer is going to throw money away like that.

Wait, so drug dealers are supposedly giving out drugged candy to get kids hooked, but are also mixing it in the basket so nobody knows where it came from?

Seems like a crappy, self-defeating business marketing strategy, to me.

When I was young in the early 80s the popular myth was to check the kids candies for needles and pins in it from strangers. They acted like all candy was sabotaged.

Ah yes, time to disguise hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of drugs as candy to hand out to trick or treaters, and give away for free.

This will surely make any drug dealer or addict rich, somehow.

The only case of candy tampering I have ever heard of was a father who poisoned his own kid's candy to get life insurance for his many debts.

His son died after ingesting a Pixi Stik laced with cyanide. The fucker also poisoned other children's candy to "make it look random". Fortunately, no one else ate the tainted candy.

Since this happened in Texas, no one was surprised he got the death penalty and he was executed a number of years later by the state.

Turning little Johnny into a dope fiend ALSO turns him into a blood hound who can then sniff out the crack house so he can go back and spend all his allowance on drugs!

I looked up this woman's podcast, having a hunch what it was about.

There are two critical challenges we are facing today: 1) We are blasted with lies on social media, in classrooms, and at our jobs every second of every day; 2) Proclaiming the truth earns you the title of racist, sexist, xenophobe, etc. These challenges put us at a crossroads. We know or suspect that we are being lied to, but we dont say anything out of fear of retaliation. But if we are ever going to win back society, we must punch back. So this is a podcast where punching back is what we do. We ignore our fear because the cost of not responding with truth is higher than responding.

My hunch was correct.

It's because society/media does so much to dehumanize criminals or whatever scary "others" that people look at them as a mindless force of evil that's just out to get people (specifically get you and your loved ones) instead of being driven by actual motivations. The number of people that are so unstable that they'd just randomly try to hurt random people for the sake of hurting people is such a tiny percentage of the total people who commit even serious crimes, but the fearmongering has people believing they're everywhere.

I got a friend who I used to game and hang out with a lot. I cannot even spend 40 minutes with him without him being trigged and whining about "woke" stuff. He is just parroting generic right wing talking point and I can barely tolerate him anymore. We cannot even see a movie without hearing a "woke" tantrum and him bragging about "thinking for himself"
