Illinois AG wants to ban "Meth Coffee"

Meth Coffee isn’t welcome in Illinois, Attorney General Lisa Madigan said today.

The coffee is the latest drink with a name that sounds like a drug but isn’t.

Madigan is demanding that the manufacturer discontinue marketing and sales of the product in the state.

She says the product is advertised as an illicit drug, with claims that it has been roasted by a "master druggist." It’s website is littered with images of syringes and addicts.

The product’s packaging claims consumers can "snort the powder dry, cook it in a lighter and huff ... or just forget the caboose and mainline."

In a letter this week to the manufacturer, Doll God LLC, Madigan said Illinois is battling a methamphetamine epidemic "and we are deeply concerned that your marketing of Meth Coffee will perpetuate the use of this devastating drug."

The product violates the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the state’s fraud act, due to the product’s comparison to illicit drugs, Madigan said.

Meth Coffee went on the market in January, sold online at $12 per 10-ounce bag of beans.

The San Francisco manufacturer bills itself as a "rebel coffee company" and the brainchild of a "self-styled anarchist, coffee addict and conspiracy theorist known only as the roaster."

Madigan warned she’ll sue if necessary to stop sales.

She previously stopped the sales of an energy drink called "Cocaine," an energy drink powder called "Blow," and a "Pot-suckers" lollipops.

reminds me of that energy drink "Blow" that actually comes shipped to you in a vial, in white powder form and you have to mix it with a drink yourself. i could see underage kids buying that shit and doing lines. strange shit going on in the world.

That doesnt apply to things that can be considered obscene like a coffee called meth.... im sorry but come up with a better fucking way to market your garbage coffee if the only way you can get people to buy it is make um think its in some way somehow related to meth is just idiotic and a slap in the face to drug culture IMO

isnt that exactly what it applies to? who draws the line? some may consider protesting the government obscene so should it not be protected by the first amendment? meth coffee could easily be considered a protest against drug prohibition.
