Green Crack -- Is this How St. Patrick Gets Wack?

Green beer may be addictive enough to send a slew of leprechauns to AA, but we're betting it'll be harder to kick a new emerald-colored habit.

Police in Marietta, Ohio, say they seized packets of green-colored crack cocaine in a festive, St. Patrick's Day drug bust.

"I don't know if they're Irish or not," Washington County Sheriff Larry R. Mincks said about the five suspects. "They could be, I suppose. Or maybe they just wanted to celebrate the holiday."

It's not the first time police have seen colored crack. Some dealers use food coloring to make it look more like candy. One dealer was reportedly found with red-colored crack a few years ago around Christmas time.

(Hmmm...we knew that rock candy we kept giving our nephew was making him really hyper, but we thought it was just the sugar.)
