Why is the presence of tootsie roll pops sometimes an indication of drug use?

Question

I heard that when an adult keeps an unusual amount of tootsie rolls around, it is usually a sign of drug use. Is this true? and if so, what does one have to do with the other?

Answer 1

No, it's not, but drug users, especially weed smokers, sometimes get very hungry or the "munchies" afterward.  

Answer 2

Well, that's a bit of a stretch! Suppose the adult is a grandparent whose grandchildren frequently visit, or a day care provider? Or someone who likes candy? Or just someone who shops at a warehouse store like Costco?

I can sorta see a possible connection between use of methamphetamine and suckers: meth users are often dehydrated and l*****g their lips, so the sucker could give them something else oral to focus on. Same with ravers: sometimes sucking on candy pacifiers due to the drugs taken.

However, as a rule, rules are meant to be broken. This one seems a  bit too far of a stretch to even make it a rule.

Answer 3

My Dad had a bowl of tootsie rolls and he wasn't and isn't a drug user.
