We go out of our ways to protect our children, and it seems like new dangers pop up every day. Well, I saw this on myspace and after some googling, I found out this is for reaal. Here's the bulletin
Halloween Warning for Parents
There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sureit will make its way around the country. Kids are ingesting this thinking it is candy and being rushed off to the ER in dire condition.
It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. It looks just like pop rocks.
Please instruct 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.
Pass this around it could save some family a lot of heartache!
They call it strawberry meth or strawberry quick.

To summarize this part hasn't been proven and no news stories have validated it, so while the drug may be real, the kids handing it out in school yards or it being distributed around the country hasn't been proven either:
