Clarification on online reports regarding Strawberry-Flavoured Methamphetamine

It has come to the attention of CNB that there had been online reports circulating about the availability of coloured and strawberry-flavoured methamphetamine[1] targeted at the young.

We would like to inform the public that the advisory on the “strawberry quick” did not come from CNB.  CNB has not come across any cases of strawberry-flavoured methamphetamine in Singapore in recent years.

While there is no specific information about “strawberry quick”, we urge parents to remind their children that drugs are harmful. Unscrupulous traffickers may seek to disguise the harmful nature of drugs by making them look like candy or foodstuff. If you come across such suspected substances or drug sales, please alert CNB and we will look into the matter. You can call us at 1800 325 6666 (24 hours) or email us at CNB_Feedback@cnb.gov.sg.”
