Swinging emerald beer, dressing like a leprechaun and dying an entire river green are acceptable St. Patty’s day activities.

Dying your party favors to match? Not so much.

Undercover agents in Ohio disrupted a vibrant Irish festivity this week when they busted five partiers with 4.37 grams of green cocaine.

“I don't know if they're Irish or not,” the county Sheriff Larry R. Mincks told The Columbus Dispatch. “They could be, I suppose. Or maybe they just wanted to celebrate the holiday.”

The sheriff noted his deputies were well acquainted with the popularity of colorful cocaine. They’ve previously arrested dealers carrying purple crack rocks, and a few years ago around Christmas time deputies confiscated baggies of yip that had been dyed red.

One couldn’t be sure, but maybe they were just trying to leave a holiday treat for Santa.

Is colorful coke really all the rage these days?
