A note was recently sent home from an Australian school district warning parents that children could be approached and offered crystal methamphetamine that looks and tastes like candy.

"A spokesman for the Department of Education and Training said last night a 'concerned and responsible Rozelle Public parent advised the school they heard a child (not a Rozelle student) was offered chocolate that may have been tainted with drugs.'

"The news has shocked and concerned many parents. Rozelle routinely teaches kids to avoid taking things from people they don't know, and to tell a teacher or parent when something like that happens. Source: The Daily Telegraph
