“The branding of illicit drugs is a favorite of pushers, who have previously sold bin Laden heroin, Harry Potter Ecstasy, bricks of Teletubbies cocaine, and green-tinted crack in recognition of St. Patrick’s Day.”

In the 1960s, when I lived in New York City, I don’t recall reading or hearing about such branding.
