Showing Original Post only (View all)Weed-infused candy gets students high during class [View all]
A new and dangerous candy is popping up in schools. Its main ingredient? Weed.
The drug-infused candy is easy to hide from teachers and parents, because unlike raw marijuana, it does not smell.
Gresham police officer Rick Blake says the candy, which is often molded into the shape of a skull, is growing in popularity.
"We haven't experienced anything like this up until about a month ago... ever since then it's starting to increase in its popularity," he said.

Well, it is relatively harmless. Just be glad those kids weren't popping pain pills.

The same logic applies to alcohol which is probably why we banned it for a time.
