Eighth-Grader At Kunismiller Creative Arts Academy Brought Pot Brownie To School, Shared With Friends

Police say that an eighth-grader at Kunismiller Creative Arts Academy in Denver was cited for bringing a pot brownie to school on Tuesday, according to The Denver Post.

9News reports that the student got the brownie from someone on the street and brought it onto school grounds. She later shared the marijuana-laced brownie with at least four friends, one of whom became sick.

Paramedics were called for the sick child, who is also in the eighth-grade, but the student was treated at the school and did not have to go to the hospital, according to 7News.

Police cited the eighth-grader who brought the brownie to campus with unlawful acts on school grounds and possession or consumption of marijuana, KRDO reports.

Every middle/high school has atleast one thing of weed on campus at all times, not news worthy.

" Student brings flask of whiskey to school,. shares with friends"... that is a headline we would never see, as it would be dealt with quietly through the school/parents, etc. Because it is the herb it is somehow newsworthy, as if pot was some harmful poison...the entire nation and world has been duped and lied to for so long that I wonder when the prohibitionists will ever grow up and admit they are full of crap and have been forever.

wish I'd have had friends like that back in high school. not saying the situation is ideal, but it is not exactly the horror story seen every day in every large city where children are virtually abandoned to fend for themselves and a pot brownie may be the healthiest food they can scrounge up in a day.

it should be inhaled:

Dr Carl Sagan:
"I have on a few occasions been forced to drive in heavy traffic when high. I’ve negotiated it with no difficulty at all, though I did have some thoughts about the marvelous cherry-red color of traffic lights. My high is always reflective, peaceable, intellectually exciting, and sociable, unlike most alcohol highs, and there is never a hangover. Through the years I find that slightly smaller amounts of cannabis suffice to produce the same degree of high, and in one movie theater recently I found I could get high just by inhaling the cannabis smoke which permeated the theater.

There is a very nice self-titering aspect to cannabis. Each puff is a very small dose; the time lag between inhaling a puff and sensing its effect is small; and there is no desire for more after the high is there. The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world."

... So this was like a non-event then. Why is this news?

Cannabis is safer than alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, most of our fast (so-called) "foods", and almost all of our over-the-counter "medications". The most dangerous and disturbing part of this story is that thanks to prohibition, these kids ate some brownie they got off the street! That's a little scary!! If we actually legalized and regulated marijuana, people would know what they were getting.

Not that it's for kids -- because it's not -- I'm just saying. If you want to keep marijuana away from children then marijuana infused products should be labeled, and sold by licensed retailers who will actually check ID.

In my school, we were doing all kinds of drugs in 7th Grade. And that was back in the 70s.

Where did they REALLY get it from? Parents no doubt. The new strains of marijuana can be dangerous. The THC count is way out the window. This stuff should be regulated. Im surprised nobody freaked out and had to be hospitalized. Your heart can stop. A 8th grader doesn't have the know how or the imagination to create a pot brownie. Parents and school system alike take note. Your society is F'd up. Glad the kids are okay.

it can't and won't and never has..

stopped a heart!

ZERO deaths and counting after 10,000 years:

The earliest record of man's use of cannabis comes from the island of Taiwan located off the coast of mainland China. In this densely populated part of the world, archeologists have unearthed an ancient village site dating back more than 10,000 years to the Stone Age.

Oh yes it can numb nuts. I did not say death. We are talking about heart palpitations. Excessive amounts of liquid THC can do all sorts of fun stuff to your body. The problem with paranoid stoners like you is that you want to put this stuff in everybodys hands. It needs regulation. Guys like you will never run this country.

I agree -- we must legalize and regulate cannabis for adults in order to actually get a handle on marijuana, and keep it away from children. But your other points are myths, and/or naivety. While it's true you will get really uncomfortable if you take too much cannabis, it will not harm you or stop your heart, or anything even remotely like that.

Higher (pun intended) THC content just means you use less to get the desired effect, because the simple fact is: you can really only get so "high". It's not like alcohol where you can keep drinking yourself stupid (or DEAD!), or other toxic pharmaceutical products that are so deadly dangerous they require doctor supervision to even use. Cannabis is 100% natural, non-toxic, and relatively non-addictive. It's really not much to be worried about.
