High-grade marijuana is being packaged in gumballs and sold to high school students. These "greenades" contain enough THC to be fatal to smaller children.
Howard County, MD (PRWEB) July 22, 2006 -- Two bright yellow gumballs with smiley faces were seized from two high school students by police at the Howard County High School. A police officer assigned to the high school witnessed the gumballs being purchased by the students while passing between classes. The gumballs were sent to the Maryland State Police-Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory in Pikesville, Maryland who determined there was approximately one gram of high-grade marijuana packed inside each gumball. The gumballs came wrapped in colorful tin foil labeled as "Greenades" with a marijuana leaf on the wrapper and detailed instructions for use.
With this discovery, concern over Greenades is growing among parents in the area, not only for the teenagers in the local student body but also over what happens when these drug-using students bring these gumballs home and their younger brothers or sisters get a hold of them, or worse yet, curious toddlers encounter them. Most experts agree that there is enough THC (the active chemical in marijuana) in one gram of high grade marijuana to produce a lethal overdose that could result in death if swallowed by a toddler.
J.T. Daily, Director of Drug Education for Narconon Arrowhead, one of the country’s leading drug rehabilitation and education centers, said, "The way drugs are being marketed and packaged these days to encourage kids to buy and use them is getting pretty sophisticated. The purpose, of course, is to create future clientèle for drugs and what better-targeted market for a pusher than kids. They are young, experimental by nature and have the money to buy it. If they try it and like it, they could end up being a permanent customer that one day ends up in our rehabilitation facility, in jail or dead."
Narconon Arrowhead’s Daily went on to say, "The only way for parents to compete with the pro-drug influences that are present in our society today is for every concerned parent to take the time to get educated on the subject of drugs and drug addiction so they can speak to their kids with authority on the subject. Next is to communicate to kids honestly and openly and share this information with them. Don’t scold them or try to scare or punish them into not doing drugs - this rarely works and can actually worsen the problem. Parents can be stern, but in a caring fashion, when encouraging their children not to use drugs. These are a few powerful tools that parents can use in guiding kids to make the right choices when it comes to drugs."
To obtain more information on how you can help educate your children about the dangers of drug and alcohol use, or if you know someone who needs help with addiction, contact Narconon Arrowhead’s information hotline 1-800-468-6933 or visit www.stopaddiction.com.

1) You cannot overdose on weed.
2) If your toddler ate a marijuana gum ball you would lucky as hell, that kid would end up eating his dinner and then going to bed early.
3) Drug dealers don't package drugs like that so they can appeal to a younger demographic, they package them like that so they can transport and sell them with less of a chance of suspicion.
4) STUPID HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. You don't package drugs in a way to make them not look like drugs, and then put a pot leaf on the wrapper and add instructions on how to use them. Is it just me, or are kids getting dumber?

why doesn't somebody point this shit out and make it hit the news fan?
the fda posted something on cnn about mj, and then few days later they had it taken off and some scientist or someone ....anyways he told them off and set the shit striaght.
but really the bottom line is bubble gum could easliy end up in a kids hand and that is dirt wrong, i think the pot leaf and instructions where the guys small attempt to stop that from happening...or at least to non suspecting victoms. kids would still clearing fail to see or comprehend it.
the gov knows whats up they are clearly lieing, i just don't understand how they tell the world this shit and get away with it scott free, but i guess nobody wants to talk back to there dad cuss they know they will get there ass whooped if they do.

Maybe one of those gum balls could kill a toddler if he/she CHOKED on it...
...but even a sick mouse would survive a 1 gram dose of marijuana.

how does chewing the gumball activate the THC. The heat isn't high enough in the mouth is it? Has it been pre-cooked into the gum? Details people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LD50_of_THC
Quote:
It should be noted that the highest animal that oral LD50 values are available for, the Domestic Dog, would have to consume roughly one third of a pound (150 g) of pure THC in order to experience fatality. This data supports the theory that marijuana can not cause lethal overdose.
And that's pure THC, not raw MJ. How much raw MJ would it take to have 1/3 a pound of THC?
No-one could OD from a gumball even if it were 100% THC.
