Two pupils, aged 10 and 11, have been caught dealing marijuana at school. They were arrested after police said they were caught conducting a marijuana deal at school. The incident happened at Brookview Elementary in Warren, Indiana. A school spokesman said a student told school officials he saw a classmate sell a “marijuana-like substance” to another student.
“We are getting to a state of emergency,” said the Rev. Byron Alston, director of Save the Youth, an Eastside social services program.
“When you have elementary students selling dope in the school, we’ve got a serious problem.”
Police said 1.88 grams of marijuana was recovered, enough for one or two joints.
Both boys were suspended from school pending an investigation. They were taken to a juvenile detention center.
There is nothing funny about young children in possession with any substance whether it be alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana. It is with the most sincere intentions in mind when we tell our community leaders and politicians, “Tax and Regulate Marijuana Now!”
I asked my 15yr old, who is attending high school near our home in Texas, to share a list of items she can obtain within 24 hrs notice at her school (actually purchase inside her school) and here is what she wrote down off the top of her head:
Marijuana (indoor Chronic of any flavor), LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Mescaline, Cocaine (in any form), Meth, Ice, and Heroin (in any form)
Hot Wheels Eliminator
What the list doesn’t contain is Cigarettes or Alcohol. When asked about the availability of those, she stated, “They are harder to get because you have to go to a store, present an I.D., and undergo a certain amount of scrutiny.” You see, in the State of Texas, if the clerk behind the counter knowingly sells a minor something they shouldn’t, they will be charged with a crime.
Just imagine if Marijuana were behind a counter and completely removed from the criminal element. I think those kids who were caught selling pot might be trading hot wheels instead. That is the kind of world I would prefer to live in.
