Not true. There was an incident last halloween in my city where people “accidentally” gave out edibles that looked like kids candy. The people were arrested, charged and pled guilty.
This shit has been going on forever. Back in the 70s/80s it was razor blades or tylenol or rat poison, LSD. Same shit different year. If you are worried about your kids, keep the little pricks at home.
I really hate Halloween. It’s that time in Australia that 4 out of 5 years you buy chocolates and lollies/candy and no one turns up and the 5th year you have one tribe of kids and their parents turn up and you are sick of buying stuff because the other 4 years no one turned up…. So do I buy some stupid lollies, candy or chocolate this year only to have no one turn up or buy them incase someone turns up?
That did actually happen to some friends the one time we decided to go trick or treating in high school in Australia.
It’s not really a thing here so most people had nothing, some people gave us some stuff even though it was like 10-15 high school kids running around in costumes. Then we went to one house with a bunch of 20-something blokes living there who invited us in for cones. About 3-4 people did go in and came back pretty high.
Now hear me out, the way to get recurring customers is to do marketing that can take form of free samples. It’s not as farfetched to get drugs in candies.
Also some people are just straight assholes and want to see the world burn
I noped out of Halloween 10 years ago. I am NEVER home and just leave an apology note on the purple door saying that Samhain is a religious holiday for me. Let them figure that out.
True, but junkies like to use oranges to clean their needles and I’ve seen them take the free oranges people leave out, stick their needle into them and then put the orange back.
I always remember the razor blades in apples scare and I was like 10 and asking, when have I ever gotten an apple and also it would seem really easy to be like:
“Hey, remember how weird it was to get that apple from that one house on the street next one over, yeah while they put razor blades in it and we should probably call the police since we can easily identify their location and the person who gave it to us since it was so freaking weird that we remember it vividly.”
and anyone that tells you that is telling you a lie, and they know they are. they’re doing it because pot arrests are easy, and inflate their budget. they’re people without morals that are fine destroying lives if it means they get something.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if these rumors are spread by candy companies to keep you buying their overpriced shit instead of just making your own treats for way less money.
In this economy, shit if someone’s handing out drugs were looping back around for seconds or thirds if we can get away with it.
Where I live, 1 Oz of trim is $10. Average new user will consume about .3 grams (rough amount for one joint). That’s about 12 cents per kid.
Might be cheaper to give out drugs vs candy.
Awwww.
Your pedo neighbor does. But he will be by later to collect
you clearly dont know ricky

It’s killing how the text ends up slightly squished to the right, lol
And rasor blades are $5 a piece
It’s not about giving away free drugs, it’s about investing in future customers
Edit: This was meant to be a joke.
No, but some piece of shit may get a kick out of stuffing something with Fentynal

It’s time for us to rise up. Be the change in your community that they need
This; edibles are incredibly expensive and no one is just giving that shit away
What is this 2005? Fentanyl is dirt cheap and tiktok “pranksters” are everywhere.
Counter-advice: if someone offers you drugs, take them because drugs are expensive.

It wouldn’t surprise me if that cookie had weed in it.

cant be too safe, i heard too many stories from women friends that they got drugged at a bar or party.

There are people who take pleasure in other people’s pain.
It’s a myth perpetuated by candy companies to keep your neighbors from giving out homemade cookies.
23 year old me: “oh shit, there’s trick or treaters on our porch and we don’t have any candy…..we could give them beer, maybe?”
roommate: “we’d go to jail”
me: “but for a couple hours we’d be the most popular adults in the neighborhood!”
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if these rumors are spread by candy companies to keep you buying their overpriced shit instead of just making your own treats for way less money.
But can you be high enough to give out free drugs?
Drugs are expensive, no way is anyone wasting that on kids
