Portsmouth Middle School warns parents about Smartie-snorting epidemic and the risk of nasal maggots
Parents in Portsmouth, Rhode Island got a letter from the Portsmouth Middle School warning them that students may be snorting and smoking ground-up Smarties candies. The letter warns of risks of cuts, lung infections, nasal passage scarring, nose-wedged maggots (!), and future cigarette and drug use. John McDaid, a writer and local investigative blogger, got a comment from Portsmouth School Committee chair Dave Croston, who stated “I can say only that this behavior raises troubling issue of modeling.”

Yummy!
kids are so smart these days.
Whats the old adage!?! The kid that swallows the most rocks doesn’t live to pass on his genes,lol Snort em up children, snort em up!
Okay…the second photo shows someone who has clearly been in a horrific accident. There are abrasions on his face, he’s had stitches to repair his nose that are almost healed, so my guess is that the second photo has nothing to do with the first. It looks like he had some repair work done and just didn’t do a very good job of keeping his nose clean (yeah, haha, I know…). There is no way that’s from snorting Smarties.
And what would be the point of snorting Smarties, anyway? Not everything people snort can get them high. This story makes no sense.
The second photo could easily be of a person found after being dead a couple of days.
I’m with Marika
They’re just kids, probably not trying to get “high” but doing it to look “cool” (which is disturbing enough by itself).
You’re right, the 2nd pic isn’t from ‘snorting smarties’. I saw this same topic somewhere else, and they interviewed the doctor who first made the claim. He admitted he didn’t know of any actual cases of nose maggots from smarties, but that he figured that the sugar residue in the nose might attract flies which would then lay eggs in the nose. So it’s all hypothetical.
Ok, after reading this story, I have some questions.
First of all, smarties have always been my favorite candy as far back as I can remember.
Secondly, this story is just a crock of BS.
I’m shocked that no one besides “Marika” even recognized this.
Smarties are just simply candies composed of sugar and Citric Acid. How could “maggots infiltrate this?
How can this lead to future cigarette use?
Modeling? WTF? What is modeling? Yep, no one knows.
Dave Croston, please tell us what “Modeling” means.
Young people who feel a need to get high by snorting Smarties, have a much more bigger problem, and are disparate for a high.
And to the parents, get a fricking life, and research what you read or hear before giving a whinny ass opinion.
This is a BS story meant to generate response, from idiots without a clue, and from “pseudo science”.
OMG, I guess it is to late in our historical chemical demise to hope kids that age are pretending to smoke or even stealing a beer. No no now they are play snorting coke and other assorted drugs with candy as a stand in. Usually kid’s display acts like this that they have seen in some way or another.
Weirdly I remember being in grade 6, long ago , and a friend had a bag of icing sugar and she kept rubbing it on her gums and the teachers had this big talk after she was caught giving the sugar to kids to eat. They did eat it and I even wondered why on earth she bothered. Until years later walking into a party with no clue and walking out with images of drug users that matched what that girl was play acting. Her parents had to have been coke users, it was the 80′s. I even found out my own had done their fair share of illicit goodies in the 70′s.
