4th Graders busted for selling pot in Colorado

DENVER – Two Colorado fourth graders were busted for selling marijuana at their elementary school, prompting officials today to urge adults to keep their weed locked away from kids.

School officials said a 10-year-old fourth grade boy brought a small quantity of leafy marijuana to Monfort Elementary School in Greeley, Colorado, on Monday.

“He sold it to three other fourth graders on the school playground, which resulted in a profit to the young man of $11,” John Gates, director of safety and security for the Greeley-Evans School District, told ABC News.



Here's my opinion: When you put stuff like this in circulation through wide legalization, children are bound to get it on purpose or accidentially. We've seen hundreds of pot-laced cookie cases in Colorado, most of the high schools report that kids in those schools are dropping out because they're ADDICTED to Marujiuana. While there may be an age limit, this stuff is in wide circulation. It is not good. I'm concerned because I do not want a drug addicted culture and higher high school dropout ratings like we are getting in Colorado.

This is concerning to me and my non-position(haven't made a full position yet) on recreational pot legalization has never been more shaken than it is now.

Appearently they got the pot from their GRANDPARENTS! That is irresponsible and more stuff like this will happen in the future.

Leafy marijuana? You don't smoke the leaves.

And also, its already in wide circulation. Until I was in college it was easier for me to get weed than it was alcohol, simply because you didn't have to go through a buyer that was 21.

Yes, it absolutely must be outlawed because pot never got into the hands of kids before now.... No, wait a minute...

Ban Marijuana, but Colorado needs to stop promoting cannibis culture.
For so long, Mankind has been plagued by division. Division by culture, creed, skin color, religion and nationality. These very divisions have been the cause of most human conflicts. But in the age of globalism, we can finally have that chance to implement a world government where all human beings are seen as equals. Isn't that what everyone wants? World peace? I do. You should support that too. It may not end all conflicts, but the reductions of Man on Man violence will be at an all time low when the entire planet gets administered by one governing body.

Do you honestly think this wouldn't also happen in a society where pot is completely criminalized? Hell, in a society where pot is completely illegal, drug dealers would be flourishing, raking the cash in. Drug dealers like to target elementary school-high school for sales.

Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

This has nothing to with the legalization in Colorado, stuff like this happens in every state, regardless of legalization. The only reason this story got widespread coverage is because the news outlets wanted to make it a political issue.

I'm sure they're profitable as hell in China. Corruption is rampant, as an added bonus for them.

Sadly, it' ends up being a people problem. Legal or illegal, no one seems to learn that you have to stay off these drugs. I'll never understand why people continue to commit crimes because of the American Prohibition of Alcohol in the early 20th century. Fucking Alcohol isn't good. You know people resort to crimes because they're nothing but pathetic addicts.
