Marion, AR -- It's called "popping skittles." The nickname comes from just how similar the harmless candy looks to Coricidin, an over the counter cold medication that is now the newest way to get high.

"It's basically kids getting over the counter drugs, taking an over abundance of them. Three, four, five, as much as 20 at a time," said Marion Detective Freddy Williams.

The effect is a feeling of euphoria. Similar to being drunk, but as a group of eight Marion Junior High School students found out when one of their friends ended up in the hospital, Coricidin in those doses can be dangerous. Some cases around the the country even end in death.

"It's just everywhere," said Detective Williams, "until someone over-doses or dies or gets sick from it, that's when it actually comes out into the open."

This is not a new phenomenon or isolated to Marion. It's just that police say "popping skittles" is not very well known. They're trying to fix that by warning parents to warn their children.

"Ueah it concerns me," said Marion mother Daisy Rosamond.

Rosamond is just hearing of the new craze. With children just about at that age, she does and will do her best to make sure they steer clear of any and all drug crazes.

"You never know what your kids are gonna do these days. I just hope my kids know better."

Police say they'll know better if parents know better. Now adding the very accessible and easy to get Coricidin to a growing list of drugs to avoid.

Newest way to get high? There's way newer ways to get high than DXM.

Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,Waiting for our sight.

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time.

Guess enough people there finally caught on.

--------------------
Death is your art. You make it with your hands, day after day. That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And part of you wants it. Not only to stop the fear and uncertainty, but because you're just a little bit in love with it. Every DVer... has a death wish.

They really do not look very similar at all to me.

Notice how they never explain that the deaths are coming from CPM rather than what the kids are "using to get high off of"
