TO ALL IT MAY CONCERN,

There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that all need to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry poprocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sure it will make its way around the country if it hasn't already. Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the E.R. In direcondition. Please instruct your children to not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. Please pass this around it could save some family a lot of heartache!

That is what they are calling strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

Thought you'd want to know.

OMG, that is horrible. :(
So sad to think of the new victims of meth. YOUNG kids love candy and this may be appealing to them. :no

Being the skeptic I am, I did some research on urban myth websites.

Turns out it's true.

:no That is so scary... why do people have to do things like that. Soon you wont even be able to go out and get candy on Halloween anymore because you just wont know what it is.
