This is an email sent to concerned citizens in Georgia… Kermit
> > FYI — From Jessie Hambrick Douglas County Sheriff’s Office> Let’s keep our children safe through awareness!> > Several of you have asked me or emailed me about the new “Strawberry Meth” information that has been circulating around. From what I can see, this “Strawberry Meth” is real and has been seen mostly in the Midwest area. It could be coming this way and it is probably something you want to talk to your kids or grandkids about. I have not seen or heard about it being found in Georgia yet, but it is probably a matter of time. I have included the email that is circulating which is in italics and two links to find out more on this topic. Of course if I do find some or hear of some here in Georgia I will keep you updated. > > http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp<http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp>> http://www.ky3.com/news/6626012.html<http://www.ky3.com/news/6626012.html> > > > > WILLARD, Mo. — A new twist to an old drug may make it more appealing to children. It’s called strawberry quick — strawberry flavoring added to methamphetamine to make it taste more like candy — and it’s already made its appearance in the Ozarks. > The first sighting of strawberry quick was in Willard, not too far from the town’s debris dumpsite. It’s strawberry flavored and it could be the first of a new trend. It’s causing a major buzz with law officers and community groups.> > It looks like rock candy, the kind someone might buy as a treat, but there’s nothing sweet about these crystals.> > “It has a more user-friendly appearance, if you will,” said Capt. Randy Gibson of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department.> > Strawberry quick is basically meth with pink coloring and strawberry flavoring to remove the bitter test of just plain meth. It showed up on the west coast in mid-February and, in almost no time, wound up here.> > “It was almost overnight,” said Gibson.> > Greene County officers recently pulled over a car for a traffic violation and found about two grams of it in a seat. So far, detectives think it’s the only case in this area but that doesn’t stop community leaders from worrying about the drug’s impact on kids.> > “When it’s put in that kind of format, people often think it’s less hazardous,” said Melissa Haddow, executive director of Community Partnership of the Ozarks. “This may appeal to kids that meth or crystal would not appeal to.”> > Haddow compares it to how kids think of alcohol. Many see hard liquor, like gin, as dangerous but, at the same time, see drinks like wine coolers as safe.> > “I don’t know if it’s deliberately targeted to kids but certainly it’s going to be more palatable for kids,” said Gibson.> > “I don’t think it is huge right now in the Ozarks at all,” said Haddow, “but we don’t want to glamorize it, that’s for sure.”> > The Community Partnership is sending out surveys to area schools to get an idea of how bad meth is among students and to see how much they know, if anything, about strawberry quick.> > > Subject: new Meth appearance> (Message from a principal where this took place)> > 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> methamphetamine 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 its 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, administrator> 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.> > > Jesse W.
