I’m going to go hang out on my neighbor’s front porch on Halloween and give out candy. I did it a couple of years ago and we had a lot of fun. Since no one trick or treats on our side of the block, it allows me the fun of not only visiting with Elaine but seeing the kids in their cute costumes.

For this year, I bought Smarties to hand out.

Smarties are a personal favorite of mine. They bring back fond memories of my bodybuilding days when I used them for a quick shot of post workout dextrose. And I love their tart little sweetness.

On facebook last night, one of my friends, Malena, said she was going to have to take her Smarties back because she forgot that they are banned.

Banned? Smarties? I had to ask why.

Before my question posted, she posted that she didn’t want to be the bad neighbor who hands out candy crack at Halloween.

What??

I then searched the internet and found that kids are grinding Smarties into powder and inhaling them.

Now who would have thought? But then I was completely shocked when I was in 7th grade and one of my classmates died from huffing foot spray.

Foot spray. Seriously. Have you smelled that stuff? Deadly, apparently.

So, we just got rid of the meth house yesterday.

I don’t want to be responsible for starting a whole new drug  problem in the neighborhood so maybe I need to return my Smarties, too. 😉
