After Weed Legalized in Colorado, Fourth-Graders Bring It to Sell at School
GREELEY, COLO. –
Several elementary school students in Colorado were suspended Tuesday after school officials discovered they were selling and trading stolen, loose-leaf marijuana and edible forms of the drug at school.
"Over the past two days, we have had two separate incidents of students bringing marijuana into our school, both in the form of loose-leaf marijuana and an edible form of the drug," Jennifer Sheldon, principal of
Montfort Elementary School, wrote in a letter to parents.
On Monday, a fourth-grade student brought loose-leaf marijuana to school and sold it to three other students, reports
KUSA-TV.
One of the students who purchased pot brought a marijuana edible to school the following day and gave it to the kid who initially sold him loose-leaf pot, according to school officials.
The drug deal was exposed by yet another student who told a teacher. According to school officials, the students stole it from their grandparents who didn't lock it up.
None of the kids where charged, however the students involved have been suspended.
At the school district's request, the grandparents will not be charged either. Instead, they're hoping this will serve as a warning to any adult who consumes marijuana.
"The word of warning is this stuff is dangerous and we wish they would secure it much like they would a firearm or something that could get in the hands of kids," said John Gates, director of school safety for Greeley School District 6.
Well said.
These people who post threads like this are the ones who are truly blind to all ills in their society. Yet they are the first to point fingers at another society - which by almost all counts is far better than their own.
Almost each and every Pakistani would love to jump ship and live in the US/West if he/she could. That, I think is the most conclusive proof of which society is fundamentally flawed and which is not.
Bharatis never fail to disappoint when it comes to posting nonsensical rants.
Anyhow, this was my response to @
Desertfalcon 's post:
Go ahead and fell free to do so. its not like Western media isn't already too concerned with what goes on in Pakistan or any other Muslim country.
And to be quite honest, i won't be offended at all if you did, because wrong is wrong and i won't try to hide it because unlike yourself my ego isn't hurt from accepting the truth.
I have every right to point out the wrong in society whether it be American or Pakistani. At least i am constructively discussing the issues rather than posting complete off topic rants that make absolutely no sense at all (like yours).
