Strawberry Quick

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 that 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 believed it is candy) and to take any that they
may have to a teacher, principal, etc. immediately.

Pass this email on to as many people as you can (even if they don't have
kids) so that we can raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies
from occurring.

check the snopes site.. There is some truth to it but it is not completely the truth. It is scary to know that when I was going to school parents worried about pot but now parents need to worry about meth. Very scary!
