>"A form of tattoo called Blue Star" is being sold to school children.  It's a 
>small piece of paper containing a blue star.  They are the size of a pencil 
>eraser and each is soaked with LSD!
>
>The drug is absorbed through the skin by simply handling the paper.  There are 
>also brightly colored tattoos resembling postage stamps that have the picture 
>of one of the following:  Superman, Mickey Mouse, Disney characters, Bart 
>Simpson, and butterflies.  Each one is wrapped in foil.
>
>This is a new way of selling acid by appealing to younger children.  If your 
>child gets any of the above, do not handle them.  These are known to react 
>quickly and some are laced with strychnine.  Symptoms  include:  
>hallucinations, severe vomiting, uncontrolled laughter, mood changes and 
>changes in body temperature.  Please help spread the word within your 
>community and school district.
