Reply to comment by phazedoubt in Halloween night as a kid by matts41

It just doesn’t logically make sense. Someone that has a lot of drugs has them for use or to sell. They’re going to just give them away and draw unwanted attention to their home? Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard if you think about it for a minute.

Only thing that makes sense is if candy bags were used for smuggling purposes and it got mixed up with real candy, but still pretty unlikely since that would be an expensive mixup.

A guy murdered his son and blamed it on the candy, the news ran with it.

Dealing drugs to parents/teens who visit on Halloween and stick around long enough to have a conversation move in that direction? Sure. Giving that shit for free to kids? Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Smuggling needs performed all year round, so the drug dealers would use methods that work all year round to be efficient. Changing it to match every holiday would be a waste of resources and drug-brain-energy.

Like a teddy bear, or dvd case, is all year round

That makes sense. I was just tiring to think of a reason why there would actually be drugs disguised as candy that was then handed out from a person’s house to children. I guess there isn’t one, but we hear this myth every year I think.
