I know many of us shouldn't have to worry about this, unfortunately we all do. If you have kids, or family and friends with kids please pass this info to them so they will be aware of the situation.
There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that we all need to be aware of.
Step2
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 also 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 this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the hospital in dire condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange.
Step3
Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and even not to accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been given it and believe it is candy) and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. Immediately
Pass this email on to as many people as you can (even if they don't have kids) so that we can raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies from occurring.
Tips & Warnings
This info can also be found by going to ABC news.

What a terrible outrage; I think this is actually worse than the razor blades in the apples we were told to look out for at Halloween. I am disgusted. Thank you so much for the heads-up.

The girl's comments at the end of the ABC article were probably the most powerful of all - that teens, once they taste this, are powerless against it! Thanks for sharing this sad news...
