Barrels, bottles and beads

When Glen Adams and Kaelib Hansen imported fantasy in 220 kg barrels from Japan, they were busted by Customs.

When Justin Rys and Robert Stark imported fantasy in wine bottles from Romania, they were busted by Customs.

We don't know, yet, who the masterminds are behind the importation of fantasy in Bindeez Beads. No doubt they could have continued indefinitely with this cunning scheme, but one thing was overlooked: the propensity of children to swallow small parts.

A children's toy that turns into the deadly date-rape drug fantasy when swallowed... oh, why didn't somebody think of the children!

Deadly date rape drug Fantasy...
I don't want to blow your story theme, but this kind of rhetoric undermined credible drug policy development. Fantasy (or GBH) is, according to Professor Doug Selman of Otago University (Wellington. NZ) as comparatively safer than alcohol. (which doesn't say a lot for its 'dating' safety. Alcohol is renowned historically as the 'legal leg opener!'). Fantasy's mischaracterization says bazillions about how we demonise 'illicit drugs' and put impediments to credible health promotion based on evidence at risk by such myth making.

We need to 'do policy' based on research and facts and ignore vested interests. "If we want a pragmatic harm reduction solution [for the drug problem], it should start with truth in sentences."
