My wife got an email from one of her friends tonight about ‘Strawberry Quick’. As if parents don’t have enough to worry about, this strawberry flavored methamphetamine candy (looks like ‘Pop-Rocks’) is being passed around schools nationwide.
Fourteen 6th graders were hospitalized yesterday in Oklahoma after consuming the little pink crystals.
According to this article:
Strawberry Quick began to show up around mid-February on the West Coast, and the trend is moving east.
This stuff is real bad; among other things, it can quickly lead to heart attacks, arrhythmias, strokes, convulsions, and death.

A few years ago, there was an appearance on the street of “peanut butter crank”. The meth was named for it’s color rather than it’s taste or ingredients. It scares me that more and more drugs are being marketed for the younger crowd.
