One more thing to worry about. I would almost bet that if someone (another kid) offered my kid "candy" at school - she would take it.
I guess I will add this to the warning list. :(

Yes, thank for letting us know. Hopefully other parents will stop by and see your post.
You know, how is this necessary (do meth addicts really care what it taste like). Candy drugs? It's just creepy. Ugh, drugs are a scourge on society that just won't go away. All the lives ruined it is sad to consider, someone trying to cause more use by flavoring them.
Outlawing drugs was one of those stupid, puritan things this country did wrong.
Legalize and regulate.
Then, all of a sudden, it's not big business anymore. Or rather... we could decrease the national deficit with it. End the war on drugs, and you take out idiotic prison sentences for possession of an ounce of marijuana, AND you're making money off the people that just HAVE to have it.
As far as flavoring drugs goes... haven't you heard of flavored liquors? Strawberry vodka, etc? I mean... if people really want to get drunk, they don't need flavors, but I want my alcohol to TASTE good.
I'm not saying that drugs are good. I do, however, think that more people would be willing to get help for drugs if they didn't face a felony jail sentence for askign for hellp.

Many moons ago, the Chinese had an unbelievable problem with opium addicts. They don't have that problem today. Why? One reason. Executions. Anyone caught with opium got their heads lopped off. Long lines of dopers getting their heads lopped off and everyone in town watching.
I say legalize weed, and execute the meth addicts. Ya, I believe that would do the trick and end the problem.
Oh, but that is horrible and cruel and mean and nasty you say. If that is your reaction then I say you really don't know the nature of meth and meth addicts. And they are really just killing themselves, but slowly. Too slow for me. I say do everyone a big favor and just expidite themselves imposed suicide, then we can keep our lawn mowers, power tools, car stereos, yard furniture, garden hoses, and anything else left lying around that the vampires snatch in the wee hours of the morning.
I HATE TWEEKERS! ALL GETERED UP AND READY FOR ACTION! EXECUTE THEM ALL!:D
Yes quite a Homer.Attachment 3530Quote:

Someone ask - why flavor this drug. It is to get young kids hooked. It looks like pop rocks and even pops in their mouths like that candy. Kids don't know that they are doing meth. I think it is disgusting.
As far as legalizing drugs... I don't know. Meth is cooked in a lab somewhere and killing pretty much all those who get hooked.
Pot... I think it is natural and it's uses can be good - like for cancer patients.
I just know that right now - I have a young child that loves candy - so this is a concern. It really scares me.
Maybe the government can save money on the executions as well by allowing all you good law abiding citizens to kill the meth addicts for them with the guns under your pillows. Actually they could make money by charging people for the opportunity to hunt down and kill them in some deserted town or game park. Kind of like that movie Running Man. Plus it will give you all target training with your semi automatics so when the baddies come, or it is time to overthrow the government you aren't all out of practice. :DQuote:

I just read the USA Today article. I think this is actually a real concern. Not only are they cooking it with a strawberry flavor, but chocolate and other soda flavors.
This new form is moving from west to east across the country.
I'll open the first hunting range. Zebra painted jeeps and all. Bonus points for spear kills. Good idea!Quote:

Excon. Hello. You are wrong.
NW, you have every right to be concerned.
Matt, Skell was reacting with full sarcasm to Magprob's post.
Skell, actually I wouldn't mind getting in on that one. It would be motivation for me to finally apply for a license and purchase a gun. I would not leave anyone out either. That concept would be rather fun and has the potential to make Magprob scads of money.
magprob. Many of your posts are filled with violent thoughts. Most recently, this one and the Paris Hilton one. Why are you so full of rage and hate? Are you running low on your Spam supply? Please go shopping and restock your shelves.
Hello Ruby:
Well, I saw what the fuss is all about. I only ask you to consider who is doing the telling. These are the same people who said Iraq had WMD's.
That's not to say there isn't flavored meth out there – but the rest surrounding it is pure guvm't crap.
excon
Hello excon:
I don't give a rat's behind about all the rest of the propaganda. That was not what I was reacting to. It appeared you didn't believe that this was a threat to children and that Nowwhat should not be concerned. I disagreed.

Shouldn't crack have destroyed the world by now? What about ocycotin?
Shouldn't the whole country be robbing drugstores? New laws controlling the access to the raw materials used in meth seem to be working at least some what. (you are going to love this)
The real problem with this is the meth (or Ice) being made in huge labs in Mexico and shipped across the border. If the United States would effectively control it's borders, maybe it would help.
Hello again, Ruby:
Certainly Nowwhat has reason to be concerned. Drugs are bad and she should watch her kids carefully.
Should she be more concerned today than she was last year when meth tasted shtty? No.
excon
PS> However, I DO have a problem with parents who are watching their kids for drug use, but let them drink. THAT is much more prevalent today, than chocolate meth.
I applaud Now What for being concerned about what is going on in the drug world. It directly affects the world that her child is being raised in.
However, I would be less concerned about the flavored meth and more concerned about the cocktail parties that students are now hosting. We had a meeting on them earlier in the year.
It seems the new "in" thing is to steal prescription meds from adults or wherever they can get them. They then go to a party location. Place all the meds into a bowl, stir it up, grab a handful, wash it down with alcohol, and wait to see what reaction they get. Scary stuff...
Hello drugwarriors:
Have you ever wondered what happened to soporific's like Quaaludes? They're gone. They're absolutely GONE. That's because the government decided to DO something about it, and they did!
Doesn't that get you to wonder why they don't DO something about meth instead of scaring you about it? They could, if they wanted to.
Matt's right. It isn't about drugs. It's about control. Fear does wonders for that.

I am so going to miss the days when I still pick out what my daughter wears. I am not ready for this kind of stuff. Luckily I have a few years (hopefully) before cocktail parties. It just seems that the obstacle course of parenting is getting bigger and bigger.
Nowwhat, it is very important to stay up to date on what the kids are doing. You are right. The obstacle course gets bigger and more difficult as they get older.
What Tuscany is talking about is a new "game" the kids are playing. They call it "Skittles" because the effect of all the different colored pills looks like the candy.
excon, I agree with you about the drinking problem that exists. But, in Nowwhat's case, her daughter is 6 years old. She is afraid that an older child will offer her daughter something under the pretext of it being candy. Very legitimate concern if it looks like Pop Rocks. She just has to warn her not to accept any offers of food or candy from ANYONE, kids or adults, unless Nowwhat says it is okay.

It makes me sick to think that people sit around and think things up like this. I mean, target young kids with something that looks like pop rocks? Even went so far as to make them "sizzle". Who are these people?
And these parties - I hope when she is old enough - we have taught her to be smarter than this.
My mom use to tell me that you never know how your body is going to react to drugs. What could be fine for one could kill another. It didn't matter if it was pot - whatever.
So, I had the fear of God put in me about drugs - I was so afraid to try anything. The most adventurous I ever got was to smoke pot when I was a senior in HS. Which looking back - I think I navigated o.k. - my boyfriend was put in rehab during that time because of her acid and coke problems.
Now I can understand my parents more - because this really frightens me with my daughter.
The flavored meth, might as well be poisoned candy. Like I said these "dealers" (and I am talking about the ones that hang out at the
Dr's office also) have got to be dealt with. I am not seriously saying kill them, but if everyone knew that a couple of convictions could lead to deportation to Canada, well they might think twice.
I just wanted to see if anyone was actually reading. If not Canada than maybe like Idaho? Sort of like a escape from NY thing. Except of course it wold be escape from Idaho. (Doesn't have the same ring)
Well, I have heard Canada is perfect - so... we wouldn't want to tarnish that! :)
We know of some people that got caught and arrested for, among other things, had the makings of a meth lab in their home. The had two small boys, 3 and 12 months, living there with them. THe kids have been taken away and they await trial. Well, the husband got busted again with a full meth lab in another location (a space he was renting) - while out on bond. The mom failed a drug test and blah blah blah. What are they thinking?
These places that have the labs in them are toxic. When disposing of these materials - the police wear Haz-Mat suits. If someone purchases a home, unknowingly, that was a lab - they can get sick. If you purchase one knowingly - the only way to make habitable is to basically gut it and start over.
And this what is being put in your body? This what these sicko's have no problem pushing on to my child and others?
I am getting angry just thinking about and starting to see the point of view of those who said they should be shot!
Yes it is a foul thing, in some communities cocaine is still destroying things and people left and right. 20 years later. Meth is possibly even more crazy.
I wouldn't mind being deported to Canada if they would accept me. I don't think I would like Idaho. Magprob live there and look how he has turned out. Must be something in those potatoes.
The same element is moving to Idaho now and selling the meth that is made in Mexico. They just stabbed someone in the Lowe's parking lot last week. That's OK and we should treat them like Rock Stars. Like a group hug and everything. We will talk with them and then they will be nice. Group hugs! Group hugs!Quote:

Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass
a urine test to get a public assistance check?"
Dysan.net
I think that's a GREAT idea.
While we're at it, let's have random testing for parents, too! If you can't pass a random piss test, you can't keep your kids! Think of those thousands of desperate, loving couples that would be glad to raise those kids!
