[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they were sixth graders I have no doubt they knew what they were trying. Scary stuff[/quote]

Key goes through 5th. I seriously doubt they did it on purpose. [/quote]

Ok wow. You are in denial if you think kids this age aren’t experimenting with drugs and alcohol. They are and scary as it might be to you, talking to kids this age about it frankly and letting them
Know the dangers of taking pills, alcohol, edibles from anyone (even a friend) is super dangerous. [/quote]

I had a 5th grader at Key last year. No, there was absolutely no experimenting with drugs or even alcohol.[/quote]

I have a child at Key. I absolutely, genuinely believe the kids are super sweet and maybe they did not know exactly what they were consuming, but I find it hard to believe that they thought they were eating simple gummy bears. If my kid finds a (normal) bag of gummy bears lying around my house, she would pop a handful in her mouth within a matter of minutes. It feels unlikely that she would take the bag to school and distribute one each to her friends. The only way I envision her doing the latter is if she thought they were somehow “special” candies that she and her friends wouldn’t normally have access to (even if she didn’t know exactly how they were different). But I’ll defer to the poster with firsthand knowledge who says the children truly didn’t know. [/quote]

+1. Being sweet doesn't mean you would never try an edible.  Even sweet kids could be titillated to try pot, in gummy form, with the prevailing narrative that it's [i]drugs but not really bad[/i].  A kid who thought he found a bag of 6 gummy bears would just eat them, not hand them out one per kid to chosen friends.  Strains credulity.[/quote]

"My mom bought some special gummy bears that she says are extra delicious and for grown ups only -- want to try one??"  <-- I totally believe this could have happened.[/quote]

Yes, parents who eat edibles probably make a point of telling their kids that they're "extra delicious," that makes perfect sense.  Makes about as much sense as "these eleven year olds thought it was gummy bears but ate exactly one each."  You guys are pretzeling yourself into knots to avoid the obvious conclusion here.  [/quote]

If an adult is consuming these gummy edibles in front of their child, then the child is likely seeing that the adult only takes one at a time.  Understandable that the child would follow that example and only give one to each of their friends.

Careful what you do; children will see.

Careful how hard you stretch to believe that [i]sweet innocent would never be interested in trying drugs[/i] kids are being raised by completely irresponsible drug fiends who partake in front of their kids while bragging about how delicious their special candy is.  Like, this line of reasoning never made sense to begin with but it's getting fascinating to see how far you'll carry it.  What's next, a dispensary CEO pried open each kid's mouth while they wept "but I'm not allowed to share snacks!"  :lol: [/quote]

Oh my god, I am the person who wrote extra delicious and I was just pulling words out of my ass. Let's not get bogged down in sympantics, okay?  Maybe mommy said "these are grown up gummies, they're not for you" and kid was curious about what is in grown up gummies, why mommy likes them, maybe mommy slipped one time and said "these are grown up gummies, they make me feel better when I'm sick" and kiddo was not feeling well and thought he'd try one, then decided to share with his friends because they did, in fact, make him feel better. I have no idea. What I do know, is that some idiot parent left their pot gummies out for their kid to find and share with their friends. Mommy/Daddy/Uncle Fred/whoever it was clearly has issues.[/quote]
