this was posted on my moms group message board by another mom today! YIKES!!!!
I have been alerted by one of our EMT's for our
volunteer fire department that they have received
emails from emergency responder organizations to be on
the lookout for a new form of crystalized
methamphetamine that is targeted at children and to be
aware of this new form if called to an emergency
involving a child that may have symptoms of drug
induction or overdose.
They are calling this new form of meth "Strawberry
Quick" and it looks like the "Pop Rocks" candy that
sizzle in your mouth. In its current form, it is dark
pink in color and has a strawberry scent to it.
Please advise your children and their friends and
other students not to accept candy from strangers as
this is obviously an attempt to seduce children into
drug use. They also need to be cautious in accepting
candy from even friends that may have received it from
someone else, thinking it is just candy.
I don't want this email to scare anyone, but as a
parent, administrator and friend, I thought it would
be best to share this with you, so you can once again
talk to your children about the effects of drugs and
how easy it could be to take drugs without knowing it,
until it is too late. I worry, just as each of you do
about kids and drugs and all the problems our kids
today are faced with. So please talk with your
children about this newest threat to get children
addicted to drugs.
