If your children have a sweet tooth, it's time to re-teach them an ageold lesson: Don't take candy from strangers, or even schoolmates.
Precaution is paramount as Strawberry Quick has made a comeback to the Capital. The drugs look like pop rocks - a type of sweet that fizzles in the mouth, according to reports. The strawberry-flavoured methamphetamine, or meth, is targeted at youngsters.
Several city schools have warned parents about this new drug trend and the vulnerability of their kids. The information has also been pasted on notice boards. The issue has become a hot topic among parents and is being circulated on WhatsApp groups and other social networking sites. The tasty candy with a wicked coating had emerged as a grim challenge for city schools and cops less than a decade ago but had then apparently fizzled out over the years.
"I was unaware about the candy drug but after receiving three similar messages on different WhatsApp groups, I took it seriously and instructed my son to be cautious about it," said Rakesh Malhotra, a businessman who lives in south Delhi's Greater Kailash area.
DRUG PADDLERS TARGET SCHOOLCHILDREN
His son studies in a prominent city school. Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive stimulant drug that takes the form of a white, odourless, bitter-tasting crystalline powder. It can be taken orally, smoked, snorted, or dissolved in water or alcohol and injected. Smoking or injecting the drug delivers it very quickly to the brain, where it produces an immediate, intense euphoria.
