Police are warning parents to be on the lookout for people who want to turn your sweet innocent children into glowstick-waving, Skrillex-blaring ravers this Halloween.

The Jackson, Mississippi police department released a warning on Facebook to parents to be on the lookout for colorful tablets that appear to be candy, but are actually ecstasy pills:

While I think it's generally a good idea for parents to first review candy given to their children by strangers for pretending to be people they're not, I'm pretty doubtful that people are intentionally handing out ecstasy to trick-or-treaters.

According to a quick Google search, I've learned the average single ecstasy pill costs $10 to $45. Now, judging the the amount of Smarties (about $4.50 for a 3-pound bag) and Dum Dum Pops (about $2.50 for a 1-pound bag) my kids get in their trick-or-treat bags, and how few full-size chocolate bars I see, it doesn't seem like most people are down with spending $10, let alone $45 per kid.

My search did, however, also reveal that the pills only cost 2 to 25 cents to manufacture. So sure, it could be cost-effective to hand out ecstasy instead of candy for drug lords at the top of drug-chain and not your average neighborhood raver or dealer, in which case, Parents Beware!

But seriously, what kind of raver really wants to share their roll with snotty kids dressed like Minions?
