Attorney General Issues Drug Warning for Parents And Schools

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum and the Florida Association of School Resource Officers are warning parents, teachers and school administrators of an alarming trend with dangerous implications for Florida school children. Federal and state law enforcement agencies are reporting that flavored drugs, particularly methamphetamines, heroin and marijuana, are circulating throughout the U.S., often enticing younger children. These drugs could be ingested by unsuspecting children and are extremely harmful, say authorities.

Flavors can include strawberry, chocolate, cola and others. The flavoring reduces the bitter taste of the drug and does not affect the potency of the drug, according the warning from McCollum. Children may mistake the drug for candy pop rocks.
