IL AG blasts Meth Coffee for 'glorifying' drugs

Post by Jaded JAaron77 »

Illinois' attorney general blasted a coffee for glorifying drug culture and demanded the San Francisco company stop selling it.

In a letter sent this week to Doll God, Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked that the company immediately cease all marketing and sales of Meth Coffee in the Illinois, citing the devastating impact that methamphetamine has had there.

She said that if the company refuses, her office will seek injunctive relief and fines. A call to Doll God was not immediately returned.

"Methamphetamine production and addiction have inflicted severe damage on communities throughout our state," she said in a statement. "As part of our fight against this dangerous drug, we have been working extensively to make sure that young people are not enticed to try it."

The product is marketed as an illicit drug and claims that it has been roasted by a "master druggist." Its Web site features images of syringes and addicts.

Madigan said the product violates the Illinois Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.
