Police warn parents of popular drug-laced SweeTARTS

Parents across the country are being warned of a new trend involving candy flavored prescription pills infiltrating high schools.

They look like the well-known candy, SweeTARTS. They even have the familiar logo.

The pills are actually a mix of Xanax and SweeTARTS called, "Xanie Tarts".

Apparently, the candy's appearance is not changed by this process.

Xanax is a prescription drug prescribed for anxiety disorders, but may have side effects that include drowsiness, slurred speech and memory problems, among others.
