Moles at The National Enquirer tattle that Britney Spears has become an aficionado at camouflaging her drug addiction with an assumed love of lollipops. The fallen star discovered marijuana laced lollipops in Amsterdam three years ago and has begun purchasing the drug in Santa Monica.

Britney is now sucking on pops with fentanyl citrate-an FDA-approved narcotic used to treat severe pain in cancer patients a powerful narcotic more potent than morphine.

According to The Enquirer:

“Britney carries the ‘pops’ in her purse,” revealed a source.

“It’s an inside joke that when Britney says: ‘I’m craving candy right now. I need a lollipop,’ what she’s really saying is: ‘I need to get high.’”

Britney was introduced to the “drug lollipops: while on her “ONYX” tour in Europe in 2004, said her friend. In Amsterdam, she visited legal marijuana cafes where the lollipops were sold.

After the tour, Britney found a place to buy marijuana “pops” in Santa Monica, said the source. But the insider claims she soon graduated from marijuana-laced lollipops to pops laced with a morphine-like drug that’s an even more potent narcotic.

“The morphine-laced pops are round and look like gumballs,” said the source. “Britney was photographed with them in New York right before her breakdown. Sometimes she’d pass out after sucking a morphine pop. She mixed it with alcohol and could barely stand up and ended up throwing up.

“Now it is as if she uses the pops as a substitute for pain pills or Vicodin.”

Lynne Spears has hired a detective to keep an eye on her estranged daughter who has been officially sued for full custody of her two sons by ex-husband Kevin Federline.
