The regulatory action against Coco Loko comes six months after the product's debut, and after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called it “cocaine on training wheels.”

So glad these fools have time for junk like this. How about fast tracking life saving drugs that are already approved in the rest of the world? What a moribund bureaucracy.

Waiting for the lawsuits from "innocent victims" inhaling the vapors outside the bakery at the grocery store ... Liberalism is a mental disease.

So, by their reckoning, this is just a stepping stone to cocaine?

I wonder if I’ll have to start providing ID and sign a log when I buy a can of Hershey’s, as I do when I buy Sudafed. And get it from behind the counter.

Well I prefer just setting up an IV for my chocolate/coffee cocktail. Who wants to both with snorting?
