HARRISBURG, Pa. - A narcotic painkiller that looks like a lollipop — designed to speed relief to cancer patients — is starting to show up in illegal sales with the nickname "perc-a-pop." The drug's ease of use and sweet taste have law enforcement officials worried about the potential for abuse.
No!! The hell you say! Abuse of a NARCOTIC ******* LOLIPOP?? No one could possibly have been expected ot see that one coming.
The attractive taste — described by the manufacturer as a "mild berry flavor" — makes abuse more likely, he added. Harley said each Actiq lozenge retails for $9.10. The street value of a perc-a-pop is $20.
Oh to be in that marketing meeting "Ok, we'll green light the narcotic lolipop, but the amphatamine candy necklace is out."
