'Twilight' Connection in Big Heroin Bust

11/23/2009 10:35 AM PST by TMZ Staff  

Here's the kind of "Twilight" merchandise you really don't want your kids getting their hands on -- baggies of heroin with a cartoon of Rob Pattinson's face printed on them.

'Twilight' Connection in Big Heroin Bust

DEA Special Agent Erin McKenzie-Mulvey tells us the heroin baggies with "Twilight" characters were seized recently in West Hempstead, Long Island. The "Twilight"-themed baggies have been gaining popularity over the last couple of months.

New York Special Agent in Charge John Gilbride tells TMZ a dime bag of heroin in New York is cheaper than a six pack of beer.

Where is John Gilbride buying his beer? A "Dime Bag" costs $10; that's why its called a "Dime Bag."

What do Coke junkies & fans of the Twilight series have in common? They both like really crappy movies!

So illegal drugs are cheaper than beer. That is ridiculous! What has been the point of all the billions spent on the War on Drugs if I can get heroin for less than $10?? I don't care about the "Twlight" connection. That is just good marketing by the drug dealers. I just hate to think about all the tax dollars apparently wasted. While I didn't, and don't, expect illegal drugs to just disappear, I would have expected more from our government's efforts than heroin for less than $10 a pop.

@todd da man
I hate to tell you this, but everyone's tax dollars are going to waste in the war on drugs. Sadly, cheap, potent, widespread drug distribution is a direct product of prohibition. The more you know about the WOD the harder it becomes to defend until it gets to a point where i became appalled that this has been going on so long in the land of the free.
