Maryland Police Find Marijuana Gumballs in Schools
By Jim Kouri
(AXcess News) New York - High-grade marijuana is being packaged in gumballs and sold to high school students, according to Maryland State Police officials. These gumballs, known as "Greenades," contain enough THC to be fatal to smaller children. THC is the active chemical in marijuana that causes the user to become "high."
Two bright yellow gumballs with smiley faces were seized from two high school students by police at the Howard County High School in Maryland. 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's Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory in Pikesville, Maryland, and they 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 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 a future clientele for drugs and what better-targeted market for a pusher than kids, he stated.
"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."
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.

in gumball form, as it releases at the same speed as the flavor, so once you've chewed it to flavorless, you can spit it out, and be completely stoned. I want one.

I liked the lollypop because I could take it everywhere with me and nobody was the wiser. It had a lime/cannabis flavor.
Of course, I like to eat cannacookies and crackers too. Cooking with weed is just fun. I want a gumball!

I just fired them a contact... they've got their facts so fucked up a grade school kid could have corrected them.
They say each gumball could kill a toddler, and contained approximately one gram of cannabis.
The LD-50 for pure THC is 1270 mg/kg, which is MORE THAN ONE GRAM of PURE THC... per kilogram of bodymass!!!
I love it when reporters have their head up their ass

Axcess news has not replied to my contact and has not changed their story.
Conclusion: they either do not care about telling the truth, or they're too proud to admit they fucked up.
*edit*
It seems I may have used the wrong form for submitting feedback to an article. I sent an e-mail to their editor-in-chief about the article and asked him to forward it to the author. Perhaps they just didn't receive my comment due to it being improperly submitted.

That article makes me wonder how much of the rest of the shit I see on TV or read about is complete bullshit.

Well, the editor-in-chief there gave me a prompt reply to the e-mail I sent, and forwarded it to the author.
I came off as a bit of a pedantic ass, but perhaps he was honestly willing to accept that it was misleading.
I think honest newsmen are reluctant to mis-state the truth in a way that readers are likely to recognize, regardless of any unavoidable bias they may posess.

i like how he refers to the people that will end up in rehab as customers.
so was it just a gram of bud inside a hollow gumball? that sounds pretty fucking nasty to me. if the THC is somehow extracted and mixed in the gum, that might be allright, but i dont wanna be chewing up sticks and stems.

I bolded all the language that is clear and pure propaganda. I'm conflicted between believing either this story is a complete hoax planted to promote some bullshit pig drug website or just a joke launched by a bored reporter. I'm starting to lean more towards this having been a joke.
