Strawberry Meth Dear Parents, In our continuing efforts to inform parents and families about the dangers of illegal substances affecting our youth, Irving ISD is sending you another letter regarding drugs being marketed to children. A few weeks ago we sent you a letter informing you about the dangers of “Cheese,” a dangerous combination of black tar heroin and Tylenol pm, which is being sold to students as young as elementary age. This letter is to inform you about a new form of crystal methamphetamine. It is called Strawberry Meth or Strawberry Quick and it is also being sold to a younger population of children. Strawberry flavoring is being added to methamphetamine to give it a strawberry candy look and flavor. It also 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. Dallas County has not seen many cases of overdoses directly connected to this new form of meth, but it seems that these drug trends find their way to urban areas quickly, as we have seen with the “Cheese” wave. Research shows that if a child can remain drug-free through their teenage years that there is a very slim chance that they will ever try drugs. Irving ISD wants to help keep you informed about the dangers of illegal substances that our children may have to face. We hope that as partners we will help them make the appropriate choices and remain drug free. Please contact your school counselor if you need resources that may be able to give you more information on drug testing and rehabilitation.
