School officials in northern Colorado are asking parents to take care with their newly legal recreational marijuana, after fourth graders were caught dealing the drug on an elementary school campus.
John Gates, director of safety for Weld County School District 6, said Wednesday that the students involved, three 10-year-old boys and a 10-year-old girl at Greeley’s Monfort Elementary School, faced tough discipline but not suspension or expulsion. He would not elaborate on their punishment. […]
The marijuana appears to have been legally purchased by adults—grandparents in two families—and no charges were expected to be filed, Gates said. He said the parents of the students were concerned and working with the school on discipline. …

I don't get people who think this weed crap is going to do anything but make our country weaker, dumber, less moral, less responsible....

They would have been suspended for drawing pictures of guns.

Didn’t see that coming...

Used to buy those Jolly Rancher suckers from the local convenience store for fifteen cents, and sell them at school to eager students for fifty cents each. They bought 'em up too, guess spending their lunch money on that was preferable to purchasing the school's cafeteria food.
If he’d been selling pot brownies in the shape of a gun, THEN there would’ve been hell to pay.
Geeeeeeeeeesh!
We used to sell suckers when I was a kid, now they sell pot? What a country!!!!!!!!!
No charges ... Wow
Libertarians said it was for adults and I knew they were lying
