Are drug dealers actually colouring meth blue to cash in on the popularity of Breaking Bad? As far as I know the show just made it up and real meth is never blue.
4 monthsThe show has an explanation for the color tbh, it’s because they can’t get their hands on the perfect ingredients and what they manage to get has dye on it. Becomes branding later on

I know, what I’m saying is that explanation is fictional. It wouldn’t be blue anyway in real life. The ingredient they used wasn’t claimed to be dyed, the show just invented fictional chemistry that makes it blue.
It was the same idea of Aldous Huxley, writer of ‘brave new world’ and ‘doors of perception’.
Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for “LSD, 100 μg, intramuscular.” According to her account of his death[107] in This Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 am and a second dose an hour later; Huxley died aged 69, at 5:20 pm PST on 22 November 1963.[108]
Basically no one remembers his passing, though, look at the date. JFK was assassinated on the same day Huxley left the mortal plane on a trip, so the news was completely snowed under.
