Cote D'or and Callebaut is the way to go.

Argue all you want, you are not informed on the matter I speak off. I happen to be in the chocolate business since born into it from my mother's side. I now what happens. I know other sweets are similarly used, I happen to have a whole clad of family members in Belgium and a whole lot of them go to school. The children are constantly warned not to take anything, not from class mates and certainly not from strangers.
salaam.

I know of "herb" infected chocolates given by kid dealers to children in primary schools and pretending to be made by the brands I listed to avoid parents getting suspicious. It is the best way to get kids addicted, isn't it.
Yes I do, I happen to have first hand records of this happening in Belgium.
I didn't say I know of it happening in the UK but I'm sure they do it there too, using chocolats and other sweets to lure children into an addiction. Drug dealers have universal applyable methods.
I don't think it was"vague". Not my fault that faulty interpretations blurred it and that it thus got a life of itself outside of what I posted initially
Okay. *Sigh* Other posters have already gone through this.
Garfield Le Chat went through it all
in great detail already in page 2, post 46. I don't see how you can claim what you are currently claiming. It was vague, you have not provided any proof, and getting annoyed with or laughing at people when they pull you up on it doesn't change the fact that you have not backed up your claims
This is what you specifically posted...
That you, Aldebaran, ''
know''
(no proof given or supporting evidence)
of '
'herb-infested'' ( what herb? we're not told)
chocolates ''pretending to be made by made by the brands you listed (
Cote D'or and Callebaut)
being ''given'' (so not sold, given) by '
'kid dealers''
( either children who are dealers or adult dealers targeting children, it is not clear)
to
primary school aged children
to ''avoid parents getting suspicious''
because ''it is the best way to get kids addicted'' ( stated as fact, preassumes dealers want to get kids addicted to ''herb-infested'' - drug not stated - chocolate
and that this is the best way to get them addicted. Cannabis is not addictive by the way )
and that you have
''first hand records of this happening in Belgium'',
( but refuse to provide the records or source them so others can check )
you are also
''sure'' that ''they'' do it in the UK too, because ''
using chocolats and other sweets to lure children into an addiction''
( again, no proof given of sweets being used to target kids and lure them into addiction), however ''
Drug dealers have universal applyable methods'' ( again, extrapolates from this that it is happening everywhere, universally).
When questioned you said we could '' argue you all want'' but we are ''not informed'' on the matter you speak of '' ( and which you are yourself vague about and refuse to give details on concerning the drug you refer to as ''herb'', the schools or the area of Belgium, let alone any evidence of anyone being arrested or convicted for this dreadful illegal practice). Apparently your mother worked in the chocolate business and left shares in the business to you when you were eight years old. You then mentioned you had family members who were school age in Belgium and they had been warned not to take sweets or anything from strangers or each other ( standard safety warning for all kids and which doesn't prove anything at all.)
Links were then provided to a story about meth being strawberry flavoured to make it more palatable ( it is bitter tasting) and a panicky story about drugs being sold to children in the US but crucually one which had no examples of anyone being charged or even arrested in conjunction with this offence, followed a story about a man busted in the US for making cannabis sweets and who grew 1000 plants ( but nothing in that about kids either), and a forum discussing the matter specualatively.
Nothing at all about Belgium, Cote D'or and Callebaut , schools, primary school age children, kid dealers, herbs, branded chocolate, herbs concelaed in chocolatre, child addiction to herbs, targeted policy of trying to addict children to herb infested chocolate anywhere.
I then emailed a friend who works at the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction and who edited the Belgian National Drugs report a few years ago to see if she had come across anything of the kind and she reported that
contrary to Aldebaran's claims about primary school children, 14/14 was the age at which drug experimentation / useage started ( for all substances) and she had no reports of primary school age children using drugs or being targeted with drugs at all.
I suggest this discussion moves to the drugs forum if you really want to stick to your guns?
