Ecstasy dealers pushing cartoon character pills



DRUGS shaped like Snoopy, Homer Simpson and Barack Obama's head recently showed up on US streets, adding to a trend that worries police and doctors.

Colorful ecstasy pills started showing up last year shaped as Homer and Bart Simpson, Ninja Turtles and other characters.

As more of the pills that look like vitamins or candy go out locally and nationwide, they put children at great risk, police and experts said.

Last month, Drug Enforcement Administration officials in Nevada sent out warnings that the cartoon pills were in Las Vegas.

Dealers there call ecstasy “thizz” and market it to minors, the DEA warned.

They also said they had found pills shaped like Ninja Turtles, Transformers and other Simpsons characters.

Police in Utah last month busted a drug ring and found 500 Ecstasy pills stamped in the shape of Obama and Snoopy.
