As if the allure for cocaine isn’t bad enough, now illicit drug makers have taken the phrase “nose candy” literally and flavored cocaine like real candy. According to the Sacramento Bee in Northern California, six people were recently arrested with three pounds of cocaine flavored to taste like strawberries and coconuts.

According to DEA officials, this is a marketing tool to attract younger customers for the drug dealers. With this disturbing trend, one has to wonder what the next trend will be and if it will include such items as cocaine lollipops, cocaine ice cream cones and cocaine cotton candy?
