Sneaking Items Into School

Nowadays, when you hear about a student sneaking something into a class, it is usually a very serious, dangerous, and scary situation. Back when I was in school, the items typically weren't dangerous. They were just inappropriate for the situation. Many teachers had a designated drawer in their desks to store the confiscated contraband.

Honestly, I was too afraid to get in trouble and face my parents so I never tried. I thought it would be fun to go back and come up with some of the stuff my former classmates got taken away in school by the teacher.

Students Bringing "Adult" Treats To School

Every once in a while, you'll see a story about a student bringing some adult "party favors" like booze or weed. It's a nightmare scenario for their parents.

Legal recreational marijuana makes the situation a little bit more tricky. There are cannabis-infused treats that look exactly like normal ones. Thinking it's a tasty snack, the kids bring them to school to share with the other students.

Real-Life Pot Treats At Illinois Middle School

According to patch.com,

Multiple eighth-grade students at James Hart Middle School consumed a "cereal look-alike item" that contained THC and other unknown substances, the administration wrote in an email to parents.

According to the school, more students could have eaten the product, which was named and packaged like a mainstream snack.

The students who ate the item are being monitored and seeking medical attention if needed.

Please Be Careful

If you do partake in the "weed edibles" please be careful and keep them out of the reach of your children.
