Original Note:
The story is conflating methods of drug trafficking (in this case, hiding pills in candy boxes), with the long-standing myth of drugs being hidden in Halloween candy. Drugs are expensive, trafficking is risky, and there is no evidence cartels aim to give children free drugs. https://www.today.com/health/fentanyl-halloween-candy-rcna51880
