Right.....Pot cookies on the lawn....

Here's the problem I see. Why not just grow it in your back yard or garage or basement.

She let the kid eat a brown thing found in the grass outside her apartment? It’s a good thing the kid didn’t step in it first.

Police in Longmont are investigating but said they do believe the mother. Officers searched the home for any signs of marijuana use and found nothing.

They certainly did trust her! /s

Seriously though that's a little odd. Pot is now legal in CO so why would they search the house? If the kid got into some household product and the parent said they didn't know how because they don't have that product in the home would the cops search the house to verify the story?

Yeah right. Mama left her damn “cookies” out and the kid ate one.

Is this woman legally in the US?

Probably not.

I think the end of prohibition for pot is a good thing.

It will no longer be cool...but just stupid.

There are sick people out there.

For sure. For example, posting all of the ABSURD anecdotal stories now coming along that FReepers with an agenda can tout as Gospel truth... is a sickness borne from ignorance! Marijuana is not toxic. NOT TOXIC*!

What symptoms did the child exhibit that caused this testing for marijuana? Drowsiness? Craving for Doritos? Turning up the volume on the drum solo from "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"?

Ignorance abounds from all of the FReeper drug warriors that show up on these threads. They should all band together and dress up in black, arm themselves with automatic weapons and knock down a few doors. Don't forget to shoot a few dogs along the way!

Meanwhile, suck up another beer or two!

*Toxic means being poison and the ability to cause death. No one has ever died from smoking pot. You can check the hospital records yourself. Pot is not toxic.

[Wicket]

Yeah, that’s what musta happened sarc off

Evelyn’s mother, Aida Hernandez, believes the child ate part of a cookie she found on the ground in the grass outside of their apartment. “It was brown, like a chocolate chip cookie,” said Hernandez.

TMI for a valid alibi - that's akin to saying that she watched her daughter pick up and eat an unknown "brown" substance and did not stop her. I hear dog poop can look like Tootsie Rolls too.....
