      MDMA pills are often branded with various logos from all sorts of companies and IPs (without permission, of course), so I imagine it was something similar to that.

      a pile of "Orange Teslas" MDMA pills

      Some drug traffickers use existing brands to “market” themselves.

      Here’s some Afghan heroin seized and destroyed by the international coalition on the Arabian Sea in 2021:

        I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the “brand identification” argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.

      I personally have a theory that they are indeed supplying pill manufacturers with high quality presses.

      Most high quality pills (not talking about contents) I have seen beeing confiscated in night clubs are branded with car or fashion brands.

      So maybe they are targeting people when they have a high happy hormone output.

      Like: woah that mitsubishi is making me feel soooo great and suff.

      Oh god the new Tesla’s are so strong.

      Sounds like something marketing departments would get off on.

        It’s easier for drug manufacturers to appropriate brands than to come up with their own. Car and luxury brands are common, but so are other brands like Netflix, characters from comics, cartoons, video games, etc. The manufacturers need an easily recognizable and memorable design.

        Check out this database for examples. https://www.drugsdata.org/
