We did the same thing in middle school, but we called it "Hypo" - as in, it'll make you super hyper (and man how it did!!).
I'm confused, I clicked on this thinking it was just another article on school dress codes.

Maybe a little in school suspension and a stern talking-to by the principal, depending on the principal would be appropriate. Stupid kids for calling the stuff "crack". Were they selling it, too? Some of the kids at our elementary school were bringing plain sugar in baggies and selling it as if it were drugs. They shouldda been suspended. After they served their punishment, they went around trying to find the snitch and threatening to beat him/her up. I don't think a whole lot of these particular kids because they are so disrespectful of adults and lie through their teeth regularly. (Our boys are not sweet innocent boys, but they will admit their mischief. I can't stand Eddie Haskell types.) Anywho, I don't know enough about what happened at the school in the article to know whether the punishment was warranted.
We used to make our own cinnamon tooth picks. We went into the "drug" store a bought oil of cinnamon to soak them in. Hot hot hot.
AS IF these school administrators haven't snorted SOMETHING in their lifetimes....
Should have called it "Happy Prozac". Everything would be fine.
