we had this same type of scare in England 20 years ago – it was mostly proven to be an urban legend.
TBH the kind of folk who take MDMA are extremely unlikely to want to deliberately (or even accidentally) poison kids, many of them are themselves parents and surely most US “candy” is way bigger than an MDMA tablet?
it would be somewhat disappointing for a kid to be handed out candy of that small size; surely the USA does not have a shortage of junk food?
there may also be domestic legislation in many European countries that discourages manufacturers of sweets and those of pharms from making small products that look alike and could be easily confused. A lot of the big food companies and pharm companies are linked anyway so it is bad business sense to endanger/poison the next generation when they could be selling real sweets to their parents when they are young and pharms to the health service when they are old….
