Danger in disguise: candy-flavor drugs
Strawberry meth hasn’t hit locally in a big way, but police are on lookout
What if someone had the brilliant notion to make “the world’s most dangerous drug” sweet tasting by adding candy flavors and making it look like Pop Rocks? Well, someone did and it might be catching on. As a father of a fifth grader, I was naturally concerned when I heard about the newest form of methamphetamine, known as “candy-meth.” An e-mail has been circulating on the Web, alleging that candy-flavored meth is being passed out to kids at elementary schools. To verify evidence to support the claims in the e-mail go to Snopes.com .
(see link http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/candymeth.asp),
Candy meth is a potential threat to anyone tricked into thinking that it’s not harmful.
Parents need to be informed on what kind of drugs are out there. Furthermore, parents need to talk to their children about the present dangers of drugs.
Here are the basic facts that exist regarding candy-flavored meth:
– candy meth is most commonly flavored with strawberry and is known on the street as “Strawberry Quick.”
– other flavors may include chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape, and orange
– tell your children to never accept candy from strangers, or even friends if received from someone else
-meth is especially dangerous for kids, with symptoms of anxiety, paranoia, and increased heart rate
I am sure we can expect it in the future as trends tend to move through the larger cities,” said Deputy Chief Julian Bernal, head of Dallas’ narcotics division.
The Drug Enforcement Administration’s Dallas office has not encountered the drug, but local agents are on the lookout, said spokeswoman Terri K. Wyatt.
“These are evil drug dealers who are marketing to kids,” Special Agent Wyatt said.
Local bust
At 2 a.m. Tuesday, a Lake Worth officer spotted a man sleeping inside a Pontiac Firebird parked at a Sonic restaurant on State Highway 199. When police searched Ronnie N. Smith’s car, they found more than 400 grams of strawberry meth in two large plastic bags, in addition to various prescription drugs, several stolen credit cards and driver’s licenses and about ,800 in cash.
The pink crystals in the large bags tested positive for meth, said Lake Worth police Capt. Dave Tatsak. While officers weren’t inclined to give the stuff a taste test – doing so would be illegal – it “definitely smelled like strawberry,” he said.
Mr. Smith, 45, of Jacksboro, was arrested on drug possession charges and was being held in lieu of ,000 bail. He requested an attorney and refused to talk to investigators, leaving them with no idea where he got the Strawberry Quick or what his intentions with it were.
On April 11, a Fort Worth police officer found the drug during a traffic stop. About 5 p.m., the officer pulled over a Ford Explorer on a traffic violation in the 2300 block of Ridgmar Plaza and found a 20-year-old man in possession of some prescription Tylenol for which he had no prescription.
On the way to jail, the officer saw that the man was squirming, and once at the jail, the officer looked under the back seat and found a cigarette wrapper. It contained about a gram of “pink-colored, crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamines,” also known as Strawberry Quick, the officer wrote in the report.
“Depending on what the manufacturers use to cut the meth down, it can have various coloration, including pink,” said Lt. Dean Sullivan, a Fort Worth police spokesman. “But our officers watch the TV news, too, so the catch phrase ‘Strawberry Quick’ did appear in at least one report.”
He said he knew of no other accounts of the drug in Fort Worth.
About a dozen other local police agencies contacted said they had not come across the drug.
Growing concern
Concern over strawberry meth spiked nationally in February, when the Nevada Department of Public Safety’s special investigations unit issued a police bulletin alerting law enforcement colleagues that the Carson City Sheriff’s Department had seized some of the substance in late January.
The bulletin noted that the drug first turned up in Sacramento, Calif., where dealers were cooking meth with strawberry-flavored drink mix to cut down on the drug’s bitter taste when snorted.
“If meth is cut with something after it is cooked, it loses its potency,” said Special Agent Wyatt in Dallas. “With this, it’s cooked into it. It’s not diluted. It retains its potency.”
Arkansas police also have reported finding strawberry meth, and the DEA in Washington, D.C., reports that a similar pinkish-red crystalline drug has turned up in Washington state, Idaho, New Mexico, Missouri and Minnesota.

Interesting info. I’ll be on the lookout on Halloween night for the druggie hiding around in the bushes with his bag of pink candy.
