There's Drugs in Them Thar Toys!

Bindeez, which won 2007 Toy of the Year at the Melbourne Toy and Hobby Festival, has been withdrawn from the market, because the toy's beads contain significant levels of GHB:

The beads should contain a non-toxic glue but instead they contains a different chemical which the body metabolises into gamma-hydroxy butyrate (GHB), also known as fantasy or Grievous Bodily Harm.

Ms Burney said an investigation into the toy, which is manufactured in Hong Kong, also would look at whether the substitution was deliberate.

Two children in NSW, a two-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl, have been admitted to hospital in the past ten days after eating the beads.

"admitted to hospital after eating the beads..." Yeah, but were they admitted because they were harmed, or because everyone is freaking out? Fucking hypocrites.

OK... Seriously, where the fuck do I get one of these toys? I'm old enough to know better. In other words, I know that I should thoroughly chew those goddamn beads.
And what the hell kind of a product can I find the precursor in? The floor stripper and deck stripper chemicals here in the Midwest have changed to different "better" things or heavily adulterated knock-offs... Goddamnit. I just wanted to drink some industrial chemicals for a cheap high.... :::sigh::: I guess I'll just have to stick with smoking fucking dirty methamphetamines.
