It's not intentional. Drug dealers ain't the smartest out there. There was an incident a while back (10+ years) where a guy killed himself while running a meth lab.
Turns out he'd failed chemistry twice in high school. SO WHY WAS THE IDJIT RUNNING A METH LAB?
There was a guy in South Central L.A. we called "racoon". A black guy cooking P.C.P. who blew himself up. He went to a war surplus store and bought himself some old WW II pilots goggles and blew himself up again. This time he burned the pigment out of his face (except where the goggles protected his eyes), and he really did look like a racoon.
