I'm thinking of drafting flyers that you guys can put around the place, as mentioned in the thread linked above
But first, what type of flyer do you guys think would work better, a more informational one, or a really eye catching one like with "ARE ORANGES ILLEGAL DRUGS?" on the top in big font?
I think a combination is best. A big eye-catching header is important to get people to take notice. But I wouldn't phrase it as a question. Oranges
are illegal under the CSA. Better to emphasize that fact with a strong declarative statement (e.g. "These oranges are illegal!" or "This store sells illegal oranges!"
). Follow that (in reduced font size) with a quick layman's-terms explanation of why they are illegal ("Oranges contain small amounts of the powerful psychedelic drug DMT, or dimethyltryptamine. By federal law, DMT is classified as a Schedule I drug, illegal on par with heroin. The law also declares that "any material" containing "any quantity" of a Schedule I drug is itself a Schedule I drug."
). Maybe another sentence or two. Then reduce font to tiny size and include legal citations, relevant legal precedents, and chemical citations in fine print at the bottom.

You believe incorrectly. When testing the contents of the leaves, they examined the common orange (
Citrus ×
sinensis), mandarin orange (
Citrus reticulata), and lemon (
Citrus ×
limon), as well as some less common citrus fruits like chinotto, citron, and bergamot. When referring to the DMT content of the fruit juice, they were speaking specifically of the common orange and lemon.
