    We talked about drugs every grade in my day. A cop would come in and talk to the class room.

    This is an accountability thing with the parents. It’s the same with alcohol and you don’t banned alcohol as a solution. You take better precautions to keep out of the kids hands. They need to start selling weed lock boxes.

    Bullshit on what the doctor said. Won’t harm them at all



  3. @michaelpino3185 on March 19, 2024 at 7:07 am

  4. @eddierisenhoover4552 on March 19, 2024 at 7:14 am

  5. @foodreviewr5310 on March 19, 2024 at 7:14 am

    The dare took cannabis of the list for a gateway drug and put alcohol



  6. @michaelpino3185 on March 19, 2024 at 7:14 am

    This is just a fear the public of legal marijuana no one ever died of a marijuana overdose it’s impossible



  7. @michaelpino3185 on March 19, 2024 at 7:22 am

    You can actually OD on alcohol and that’s more readily available



  8. @Stephanie-kh6nx on March 19, 2024 at 7:22 am

    We had DARE and talks with Parents Against Drunk Driving when I grew up and even police and firemen coming to my school all the time and giving talks about crime and safety when I grew up. I still remember everything they taught, and they even talked us through regarding cpr and walking safe in crosswalks. Bring those back.

    Fake new propaganda cannabis is not poison but a healthy organic herb plant pharmaceuticals are poison



  10. @jeremywingate4950 on March 19, 2024 at 7:26 am

  11. @jonathanroberts4893 on March 19, 2024 at 7:26 am

    Keep the Cheetos and kook aid on hand.

    Parenting or marijuana problem? Odds on poor parenting



  13. @dulierelemaire3043 on March 19, 2024 at 7:29 am

    I had to have a transgender and homosexual conversation with 3rd graders because of the new agendas and policy… So whatever. It’s just THC they just had a panic attack. No one ever died off THC, CBD, CBN. It just makes your heart race before the high levels out.



  14. @hostilesavage4299 on March 19, 2024 at 7:32 am

    But the gateway is still legalized.. sooo uh… maybe hold them parents accountable…



  15. @jameskurk5668 on March 19, 2024 at 7:33 am

    Poison control? LoL. Just get some munchies.



  16. @HODFOURTWENTY on March 19, 2024 at 7:34 am

  17. @jimmyatila on March 19, 2024 at 7:39 am

    WHY IS IT SHOCKING…THE CRACK EPIDEMIC SHOWED CHILDREN WHAT RIGHT VS WRONG WAS….no different today… YKU SHOUKD SHOW PRE-K WHAT IS RIGHT VS WRONG.. ..thats how u combat these drug dealers..



  18. @stayeduptolate6586 on March 19, 2024 at 7:41 am

    What’s up with the title saying poison mf took there child to a doctor just in case 😂 bro they stupid ash cannabis doesn’t kill people there hasn’t been one case of cannabis killing people stop the bs



  19. @foodreviewr5310 on March 19, 2024 at 7:42 am

    Cannabis has killed no one while pharmaceuticals and alcohol have even the counter Tylenol is dangerous water is even dangerous while you can’t die or overdose on cannabis



  20. @himebaughchris4026 on March 19, 2024 at 7:49 am

    Yeah. Some things Aren’t for Kids, Liberals!



  21. @bajajba3336 on March 19, 2024 at 7:49 am

    This is a matter of accountability from parents/adults. If a child brought a gun to school who’s fault is it? It would be the fault of the parent or whoever allowed access to it.

    Vigilant parenting and proper securement of drugs within the household would prevent this.

    What’s most likely here is that the kids saw candy and wanted to eat it lol. This is why it should be kept out of sight and out of mind.



  22. @foodreviewr5310 on March 19, 2024 at 7:50 am

    Y have to be 21 or older to get anything out of a dispensarie of the street they don’t care legalize cannabis worldwide and they will not get it problems solved



  23. @michaelpino3185 on March 19, 2024 at 7:53 am

    Quit trying to scare the public over marijuana it’s a plant given by God for medicine



  24. @moonysek on March 19, 2024 at 7:54 am

    America



  25. @themanheman on March 19, 2024 at 7:54 am

    What you think is going to happen, when whoever makes it appetizing, looking tasty, and or just like plain "candy"? Can almost guarantee if it looked like 🥦, green beans, squash, pinto beans, Lima beans, they wouldn’t touch it, or go near it. Most kids even teenagers, don’t eat/taste anything good for them. JS…



  26. @JamesS.254 on March 19, 2024 at 7:55 am

    (I don’t believe kids should be doing drugs recreationally or on accident)
    I want to know exactly what effect it’s having on the kids that they are reporting on, and what are they worried about in needing to send kids to the ER if it’s "just a precaution" and not an actual emergency? It sounds like a this story is just blowing everything out of proportion, it’s not giving out any information other than kids ate marijuana gummies and teachers are freaking out and sending kids to the ER as a "precaution". Precaution to what???



  27. @mattb2690ify on March 19, 2024 at 8:02 am

    This Is one of those myths that won’t die about cannabis.



  28. @jayherrera609 on March 19, 2024 at 8:03 am

    Ummmmm its not cannabis its Tik tok lmfao you all give these kids CELLPHONES when they’re barely 7-8, and expect them not to be exposed to all this negative.

    Its TIK Tok To blame…. Not cannabis.

    "Each year in the United States, more than 95,000 people die from alcohol-related causes, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in our country.
    The first is tobacco, and the second is poor diet and physical inactivity." — CDC
