The drug looks similar to dagga and is sold in attractive packages similar in size to condom packaging. It goes by names such as Huff, Blazing, Fun Bubblegum, Tutti Frutti and Crazy Coconut. The drug is also rolled in a joint, as with dagga, and then smoked.
The Police have asked parents to warn their children of the dangers of using unknown substances. What is most disturbing is that the drug is allegedly sold over the counter in tobacco shops and some liquor stores.
