I Like Fishy Crackers

Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends is a whacky cartoon from Cartoon Network.  One of the most bizarre characters is this little imaginary friend called “Cheese” who is squiggly, yellow, lactose intolerant, and his head pops open at the jaw like a trash can lid.

Im not sure which came first, the Cartoon Network character, or this brand new insidious drug in Dallas called “Cheese” which is ground-up Tylenol PM with a dash of heroin.  You snort it to get high, and its highly addictive.  Oh, and its killing lots of teenagers too.

Its hard to get a good shot of this heroin cheese, but its a tan powder wrapped in school notebook paper.  And its only 2 bucks per dose.  Think it marketed toward kids?

While researching for this article I came across the DEA’s website which features a monthly Intelligence Newsletter which I found fascinating.  Its called “Microgram” and it shows the clever and bizarre ways that new drugs are brought into society or concealed for smuggling. 

For instance, these gumballs are called “Grenades.”  The black hole in the top is full of marijuana residue, and it comes wrapped in foil saying “Get as high as you want without smoking and all its harmful side effects.”  These were recovered from Howard County High School in Maryland.
