Boy, 8, takes marijuana on school museum trip October 18, 2005 - connpost.com
BRIDGEPORT - A second-grader brought more than a dozen bags of marijuana on a school field trip to a local museum for a little show-and-tell of his own, police said.
The 8-year-old boy, a pupil at Dunbar School, was seen stuffing the small bags into his pockets while on the bus ride Friday to the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University in New Haven, police said.
The bus returned to school where the boy's parents were called. Police said the boy was off the hook after his teen-age uncle admitted the drugs were his.
"We immediately contacted the state Department of Children and Families because we were more concerned about the youngster," said schools spokesman Michael Giannotti. "After an investigation we decided not to suspend the youngster because we don't feel there was any malice on his part."
The uncle was treated differently.
Albert Davidson, 18, of Stamford, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school and risk of injury to a minor.
He was released after posting $1,000 bond.
Davidson told police he had been smoking marijuana Thursday night in his sister's home and became very sleepy. He decided to hide the rest of his stash, 18 small bags containing a total of 13.5 grams of marijuana, in a closet while he went to sleep.
Police said the next morning the younger boy found the drugs, which were in one large plastic bag, while getting ready for school. He brought the marijuana with him to school and then took it on the bus for the field trip. Police believe the boy took the bag out to show his friends.
At some point, police said, the boy apparently became worried that his find would be discovered and desperately began trying to stuff the plastic bag into his pocket.
Police said a teacher on the bus noticed the boy struggling and attempted to help him with his package only to discover it contained the marijuana.

Nickel bags, I think. a 20 sac is 2.8 grams, a dime is 1.4, and a nick is .75 or .8.
so yeah, not trying to rip anyone off. Just your standard inner city drug dealer....

my 2 cents is that new england doesn't have brick weed. everything is different in different places, so everyones local knowledge means nothing when translated to the "game" as a whole. i was just making fun of Connecticut, haha because Connecticut sucks.
