How To Advertise Extreme Ecstasy
PSSST! Wanna know about EXTREME ECTASY!!!!?
Federal agents are targeting a turbo-charged form of Ecstasy that is gaining in popularity, fearing it will lead to fatal overdoses similar to ones experienced a few years ago caused by heroin mixed with fentanyl.
Michigan and nine other states along Canada’s border would see the first wave of any such overdoses, and officials are warning that the so-called “extreme Ecstasy,” which is mixed with methamphetamines, is becoming a problem.
“They (drug dealers) are remarketing and packaging it and trying to glamorize it,” said Scott Burns, deputy director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. “We just went through this issue with fentanyl. We learned a lot of things from that. We have to get on it early and get on it aggressively.”
Drudge has a link to a this story in the Detroit Times about the potential of a new, and much more potent form of ecstasy that contains methamphetamine. Officials, in a hope to simultaneously scare the beejbus out of parents, and intrigue kids everywhere, have labeled the “drug” extreme ecstasy. Good work guys, way to borrow a page out of Mountain Dew’s marketing book.
