I had to include this in my blog.  Drugs scare me to death and if I can keep one child from getting his hands on something like this, then I have been truly blessed.  Please, please be aware of this and make sure your children are aware of it to so they don’t accidentally take it thinking it’s candy.

This is a new drug known as ‘strawberry quick ‘. There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that we all need to be aware of.   There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks (the candy t hat sizzles and ‘pops’ in your mouth). It also smells like strawberry and it is being handed out to kids in school yards. They are calling it strawberry meth or strawberry quick.  Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the hospital in dire condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange.

Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and even not to accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been given it and believe d it is candy) and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. immediately.  Parents should know about this killer drug.  To learn more about this, check out http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp
