This article was forwarded by a parent. The picture depicts one of the side effects of this drug, commonly called "meth mouth"

ATTENTION:
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 Meth 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 it's 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, coach, volunteer firefighter 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!

Did she really???? It's a good thing that she did. A lot of people check out your blog, Mr. Devoe, so they can spread the word. I hope none of the little kids get this so called "candy".

You are so funny, Alen! I like candy too, although not this type that people are trying to push onto little kids.
