Default Pressure treated wood -- ACQ?

I was looking at lumber for building raised beds in my garden. I was
planning to use untreated 2x6's for the sides and ends, and pressure
treated 2x4 stakes in the corners and joints. (I would use creosoted 2x4's
if I could find them.) I live far enough north that I don't have to worry
about termites.

Home Depot has some new pressure treated lumber that's supposed to be
non-toxic; it's treated with ACQ instead of CCA. "Alkaline copper
quaternary." Has anyone heard of it? I haven't bought anything yet until
I do some research.
