Drug dealers develop new trends in cocaine flavors. Sacramento police reports growing traffics of flavored cocaine in the US.

Yolo County is where the most recent arrests were made. Six people
being affected in drug affairs were arrested with three pounds of fruit
flavored powder. The police reported strawberry and coconut as most
popular flavors.

Roy Giorgi, commander of Yolo Narcotic Enforcement Team, said the
new sweetened drugs' price has jumped up to 40% higher than the old
prices.

Mr. Giorgi said that the users felt a sort of medicine taste in the
back of their throats when the drug was snored, yet now, they have
strawberries in their throats... and handcuffs on their hands.

Beside strawberry and coconut flavors, there were reports of such
exotic flavors as vanilla, chocolate and banana. It is said that other
dangerous drugs, such as ecstasy or methamphetamines are also being fruit-flavored.

dimon, this is a scream! Yeah, cocaine tastes "like medicine" because it kinda is medicine, at least it was used as such. I'm concerned that fruit-flavored yayo will make it more kid-friendly...

I'm glad you liked it guys! and yeah, Jordan, I know what you mean. I guess here Moscow the problem of drug-addicted teens is very accute, cause a social ad in the subway saying "if you've seen or know drugs are sold, please contact... and we will fight this together" can be heard all day. Sometimes I agree with the 'mahines' from the Matrix: "Humans are nothing more thn viruses"...
