They're not being colored to attract young people, they're being colored to disguise them for smuggling. Do people really think cartels give 2 hoots about attracting children to fentanyl? And how young would you have to be to be attracted to a drug because it's colored pretty? 6? 7? Do people think teenagers buy Rainbow Bright gear?

People smuggle drugs made to look like baby formula powder, do people think they're marketing to babies because of that?
