Sheriff’s deputies and investigators spent three months purchasing the “Obama” heroin before arresting 5 men and women involved in the drug ring. They confiscated 80 bags of heroin for a total value of about $1,800.

Stamping brand names onto the wax bags containing heroin allows users to identify their preferred variety. Lots of people like Obama, and drug dealers are no exception. We already alerted you to the inauguratory cocaine that dealers dyed black in D.C. this week.

The Smoking Gun notes other festive drug specials, including bin Laden heroin, bricks of Teletubbies cocaine, and green-tinted crack in recognition of St. Patrick’s Day.
