New drug known as 'strawberry quick' for kids

Unknown source reprint:
This is a new drug known as 'strawberry quick'. 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 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 it thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the hospital in critical condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and not to accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been given it and believe it is candy.) If they receive any candy they should take it to a teacher, principal, etc. immediately.

Drug dealers mix meth with Kool-Aid in an attempt to make it look and taste better. And again, there’s the snappy name. While Strawberry Quick hasn’t made a big splash in Dallas, it is gaining ground in other parts of the country. [foxnews.com]

so that we can raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies from occurring. 'Strawberry Quick,' the revamped street drug is targeted at teenagers and represents the latest strategy by drug traffickers to counteract slumping sales.
