Children's Meth


Checked this on Snopes. It is true.


http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp

A very scary thing is going on in the schools right. Th ere is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and handed out to kids in schoolyards in AR.

I am sure it will make its way around the country. Kids are ingesting this thinking it is candy and being rushed off to the ER in dire condition.
It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. It looks just like pop rocks.

Please instruct children do not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. Pass this around it could save some family a lot of heartache! They call it strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

i never heard of that. it must be very new . sounds fake to me

If you actually check Snopes, you'll see that it's mostly fake. There IS that sort of drug being made, but there are NO reported instances of it ever being given to children, and certainly no instances of children being rushed to the ER because of it.
