An Iredell County (NC) mom and her boyfriend were arrested after her 14-year-old took marijuana candy to West Iredell Middle School and gave some to at least three other students, authorities said Monday.
Samantha Braaksma, 36, and her boyfriend, Joshua White, 31, were charged and jailed after sheriff’s investigators went to their home in rural Stony Point on Thursday and found numerous bags of marijuana and marijuana candy in their bedroom and bathroom, Sheriff Darren Campbell said. The stash totaled 1.94 pounds.
Samantha Braaksma Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Braaksma’s 16-year-old son, Ethan Aldridge, also was arrested after deputies found 14 grams of marijuana in his room.
Braaksma and White were each charged with possession with intent to sell and/or deliver marijuana, felony possession of marijuana, felony maintaining a dwelling for a controlled substance and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
White was jailed on $30,000 bail and Braaksma on $20,000 bail. White had been free on bail on a felony possession of marijuana charge, Campbell said.
Aldridge was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. His bail information wasn’t available.
Sheriff’s investigators are consulting the county’s juvenile services department regarding charges on the 14-year-old, Campbell said.
The youth sounds like a chip off the old block!
Gotta love that the mother, live-in boyfriend and son all have different last names.
Most 9th Grade students know better than to hand out pot candy at school. A teenager does that if they are so used to being surrounded by (heavy) pot users, and see nothing wrong with it.
OR, they do it to get mom’s boyfriend and her dope dealing friends out of the house. Passive rebellion.
I don’t see what the problem is. Pot advocates keep telling me pot has the toxicity of unicorn kisses and you have to eat a supertanker-size bale to have any ill effects.
Back in the hippie days, they used to make “Alice B. Toklas
Brownies” using marijuana. I don’t know who Toklas was &
I’ve never used marijuana in any form.
".....and this is your mind after using pot year after year
They are ignorant and wrong.
If you eat properly prepared marijuana it is incredibly potent and long lasting.
It is very similar to an LSD trip, although not quite that potent, and if you do not have a tolerance to the drug, you’re in for a rough ride.
THC is a potent hallucinogen when ingested, far more so than when smoked.
I am a former user, what I have stated I know to be fact.
If this is true then these people need to be put under the jail.
My neighbor almost burned down our apartment building on Sunday. He left a smoldering joint on the carpet by his bed. The smoke alarm went off and people started coming out of their places as it stayed on and the manager was knocking on the guys door but he was not there.
When the door was opened, thick acrid smoke pour out from the melting carpet and the plastic under the box spring. The manager used the fire extinguisher. The Fire dept showed up and hauled out the bed and cut out a few square feet of carpet.
The Fire Chief wanted to talk to the pothead.
On the guys coffee table was a bong and a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup. I did a search on that combo. It is used to extend the ‘high’ while people warn it can also kill you.
Now then this guy also had a rifle in a case on his couch and on his tv which he used as a pc monitor he had as his desktop wallpaper a photo of Malcolm X....
Hope that marijuana keeps him mellow....
That's true.
and you have to eat a supertanker-size bale to have any ill effects.
There are ill effects other than toxicity. Did "pot advocates" really say that? In what venue?
I'm paraphrasing.
Oh no, worse than I thought! One gets turned into a democrat!!
