[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The police aren't arresting kids (or adults!) For overdosing or being on drugs inside or outside of school unless they are driving.

Is doing the drugs even a crime? This sounds stupid but possessing drugs is a crime. Once you have taken the drug technically you no longer possess it. I believe it's only a crime to be on drugs while doing certain things (driving, working certain jobs, etc). I suppose there is public intoxication? But that is a misdemeanor and seems like it's not used much (if ever for this stuff) and again it has a threshold so not everyone on drugs (or alcohol) will qualify.[/quote]

The police have the stance to encourage addicts to call for help during OD episodes. It used to be that before anyone called for help, they would work to clean the scene and get rid of the evidence. It caused a lot of lives to be lost.  [/quote]

Effing ridiculous. Its a school, not a halfway house or rehab center. Making kids not OD or stopping them from doing so is not the schools job. [/quote]
