It's a good thing it wasn't poppy seeds. The boys probably would've ended up in jail.

It was an Italian spice that got Adam Grass suspended from the seventh grade at Hickory Middle School on Thursday, according to his father, Patrick Grass.

Patrick Grass?

And his kid is smoking Oregano?

lol...

A savvy consumer would know from the smell if it were real or imitation marijuana.

“It’s a good thing it wasn’t poppy seeds. The boys probably would’ve ended up in jail.”

Or plastic fork or knife, then they would have had to lock down the school and call in the SWAT team! Yet another example of why I don’t send my kid to public school, idiots!

Quickly confiscate all the sugar in the cafeteria before Sammy gets a clever idea.

What was the kids name?

Tomorrow's headlines today:

Adam's Grass Was Oregano!

For me, it’s another reason I’m glad I’m not a kid. Kids’ (and to a lesser extent, adults’) lives are way too controlled these days.

but look at this crap

Can you say THOUGHTCRIME?

Sure you can.

I don’t know who’s stupider, the complainant or the enforcer.

One more small step on the step to totalitarianism, brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood drug warrior.

G_d save us from our own stupidity...

[Revolting cat!]

It’s the kids, always the kids (and maybe Keith Richards), who expose the idiocy of us adults!

I remember the same thing happening to a boy in my 8th grade class 30 years ago. Is it any wonder the schools cant teach the kids today with their response. Back then, “Son, I know it seemed like a fun idea to you. Take this as a lesson. Now off to detention for a week where you will sit quiet and bored for one hour” is what was the response then.

You just can't make these things up.

I remember when I was young the big thing to do was mix powdered kooaid with some sugar and put it in a plastic baggy and pretend you had drugs.
