FROM PORTLAND'S OVERDOSE PREVENTION PROJECT:
An email went out to hundreds of people last night that names a new form of methamphetamine called 'Strawberry Quick,' which is supposedly a strawberry (or fruit) flavored version of meth and is being passed off as 'Pop Rocks' candy to children in schools and on playgrounds. To our knowledge, this has not occurred in Maine yet is causing unnecessary panic and concern. Our goal is to find out if any of you have actual confirmation of this within YOUR community. There are rumors that this is an "urban legend" and before an wave of panic completely sets in, we're hoping to dispel any myths that could cause undue stress to families with schoolchildren and the like.

REAL OR URBAN LEGEND? Some have found this exact email on snopes.com (a myth-debunking site) that states that 'strawberry meth' is an actual drug but whether it is actually in your community may be another story entirely.
Please email us if you have any information regarding this drug. We have no proof that it has appeared in Maine and would like to get the correct information out to the public.
