First There Was Cocaine, Now There is Blow Energy Drink
Remember all the outrage when Redux Beverages introduced a energy drink called Cocaine? Well, a new product is sure to garner attention for its name is out. Blow Energy Drink is not being too subtle. Their slogan is "Pure Uncut Energy". Buyers receive a white powder that you mix into a drink and comes with a credit card and mirror to "cut" the product.
Of course Blow Energy Drink, which of course is slang for Cocaine, doesn't contain any illicit ingredients. It does pack a powerful punch with 240 milligrams of caffeine and about 2000 milligrams of taurine.
Their advertising contains young ladies who are barely dressed. When they are dressed, they wear t-shirts that read "I Love Blow".
Of course, with a name is for marketing purposes. Will it work? They seem to be selling by the bucket load so right now yes. Will it last? Probably not.
Here is a television segment on its growing popularity.

Shut up.
Shut up.
Hipocrisy
Ok, so why doesn't the FDA and the police go after Coca-Cola for marketing "Coke"? It's because a few parents who obiviously don't spend enough time with their kids, so instead of being a responsible parent they think that the federal government should be responsible for them.
WAKE UP!!!
Take responsibility for you and your lack of parenting skills. If you don't want your kid to be a "substance abuser", spend more time with them. It's not rocket science (I know because I'm a physics major).

Both sides of this epidemic have merit. Parents need to be responsible and PARENT their children and - this IS America - companies have the right to market thier products.
However, this particular product (and others like it) should be subject to the same "Sin Taxes" as tobacco and alchohol. If there is evidence that the use of this product can harm your health, then tax them. We'll wind up footing the bill for those who can't afford medical care after they've indulged so why not issue a tax for this eventuality? They do it to tobacco, do it for these types of products as well.
Additionally, parents should know that the sale of "fake" cocaine carries the same charges as the real stuff. If any kids think they'll get away with selling it for purposes other that those intended, think again, IT'S STILL GOING TO BE A FELONY! Hopefully, schools will treat it this way also.
