Pot problems in Colorado schools increase with legalization - The Denver Post
"GRAND JUNCTION — In two years of work as an undercover officer with a drug task force, Mike Dillon encountered plenty of drugs. But nothing has surprised him as much as what he has seen in schools lately.
Dillon, who is now a school resource officer with the Mesa County Sheriff's Department, said he is seeing more and younger kids bringing marijuana to schools, in sometimes-surprising quantities.
"When we have middle school kids show up with a half an ounce, that is shocking to me," Dillon said."
Who could have foreseen this? It's a mystery... :roll:

ZOMG!!11!11!!!! Kids are acting up in a fail way to rebel. All is lost.
The only problem I see cited is that kids are being expelled for possession
Just proving that the argument made by the potheads that there wouldn't be an increase in children using pot was... well, the product of a pot smokers impaired mental capacities.

The problem is that children are using pot in higher numbers.
The National Institute of Drug Abuse found that marijuana use has climbed among 10th- and 12th-graders nationally, while the use of other drugs and alcohol has held steady or declined.

I remember specifically the Netherlands legalized shrooms. There was a huge surge is shroom abuse, and then it tapered off.
I don't think this shows that. Could very well be the ones that already smoked pot are now just bringing it to school with them. They need to know it's still illegal for minors to possess.

Somebody has to wash our cars, dance around waving signs in front of pizza restaurants, mow lawns, etc. Might as well be the Liberal's kids. Leaves more room at the professional schools for our children.
This is all it takes to make them happy so it's all good.
That's shocking? I remember buying my first dime in jr high from another student. Dude had a ton of dope in his backpack every day, individually wrapped baggies and pre rolled joints. By the time I got to high school, kids went from selling pot and adderall pills, to cocaine and oxycontins. And this is in Texas, where they don't go soft on drug crime at all, let alone stand to legalize pot in the next century. Seriously, if this cop is legitimately shocked by kids having HP's of dope, I have to wonder what the hell he's been doing, because public schools and drugs go hand in hand.
I can just see those school administrators thinking "Hmmm, how can we teach those kids a lesson for smoking something that interferes with their ability to learn....I KNOW!!! Let's expel them!"
It's the new toke on "Rocky Mountain High"Yes, you had your first toke early. Hooray for you. In Colorado we are seeing MORE pot in school because of the law. It isn't shocking, it just happens to be what many opponents said would happen when pot was legalized.
Don't you think you are a bit premature in your prediction? Of course anytime you decriminalize something there is a rush to the void then it calms down.
I think it was a mayor of Amsterdam that said, (paraphrasing) "We've done it... we've finally made pot boring."
Once the luster of doing something once considered edgy had it's edge taken off, people didn't give that much of a damn about it.
