It tastes like candy - often times like strawberry-flavored candy - but it's flavored methamphetamine
In their quest to lure new, younger clientele, drug dealers are mixing their wares with over-the-counter pain remedies and other familiar products - even candy - and peddling them under non-threatening names.
A new drug temptation has turned up in Grays Harbor County. It tastes like candy - often times like strawberry-flavored candy - but it's flavored methamphetamine. On the street, users call it "Strawberry Quick".
Users and investigators say some kids as young as 11 and 12 already use meth. Now with a new evolution in meth production - meth with the coloring, look and flavor of sugar candy - they worry even younger kids will be lured by the drug.
