Teacher shows students how to calculate cost of drugs.

SAN DIMAS, Calif. (AP) - Several parents of Lone Hill Middle School students have found themselves wondering recently why their kids know so much about how much illegal drugs cost.

As part of a classroom project, students were assigned imaginary careers and salaries, and told to figure out how much various drug habits would cost them.

``Samantha came home Wednesday and told us she's addicted to marijuana and has a $300 drug habit,'' said one parent, Diana Mitchell. ``My husband and I were both stunned.''

The teacher of the seventh-grade math class was trying to convey an anti-drug message, said Assistant Superintendent Mitch Hovey, by teaching students about the negative costs of drug use.

``I believe in her heart the explanation was, 'Hey, kids, you can get off on the wrong path,''' Hovey told the Los Angeles Times. He did not allow the teacher, Rebecca Sparks, to comment.

Some parents of children at the school, however, said they did not approve of the idea, regardless of any good intentions.

``I certainly don't want my sixth-grader doing that. The temptations kids already have are bad enough,'' said Laura Megginson, as she waited outside the school to pick up her child.

gosh...

They want their children to live in a imaginary world I suspect. One where nothing bad ever happens.

It is also suprising that a school would hire person who probably was addicted to drugs

who isn't?

 

Maybe the schools are in need of teachers and they just seem to hire anybody.

About 6 oz worth round here.
Is that $300 a week, a month or what?
Whats that teacher on?
This is a totally ridiculous scenario. Hows a kid supposed to smoke that much weed?

Just more proof that the American education system is out of touch with reality

Drugs education should be on all schools curriculums, just like sex education. We utilise the latter mainly to prevent unwanted pregnancies and avoid STD's (for the good it does), so why not utilise the former, to try and cut down drug addiction and to avoid drug related 'accidents'?

I don't know how appropriate it was to use the drugs scenario in a maths lesson (maybe the teacher devised it to attract the interest of his pupils, or maybe he's on some personal moral crusade), but lessons of that nature shouldn't be a bad thing, as long as they were a part of a well defined education strategy designed to comprehensively inform the growing child of the nature of, the effects of and the after effects of drugs and all the squalidly negative issues associated with them.

 

Buds in my neck of the Med go for US$600--$800 per oz(according to media reports).

Bob Marley used to smoke 3--4oz per week for a fiver! And look where it got him?

 

Yup He became a mega rich musical genius with list of sexual conquests as long as his (apparently) huge dick. To cap it all he died young, left a beautiful corpse and became a legend.

i had drugs and sex education at school, and not a sex crazed drug addict. In fact I am still childless at this moment and sober.

 

Well done, young Monkey! You get 2 gold stars and a bag of mnm's.

 

1) Jesus fuck, where on earth can you get SIX OUNCES! for only $300?????
2) What does it take to get a Visa there?
3) Jesus fuck, where on earth do you require $600 for an ounce???
4) Why does anyone bother buying pot there?

 

In Cyprus, the price is $600---$800 oz. The drugs scene here is very secretive and underground and mainly confined to criminal culture. Home growers face 3--5 years jail--hence the high price.

Why so cheap?
Well it seems that the market is saturated.
British teenagers use so much cannabis that market is saturated, says EU report

As for the $300, well I pay £40 per oz you can work it out more accurately if ya wish. It's not by any stretch the best gear I've ever smoked but at that price I can just smoke twice as much

Just out of interest the going rate was £150 an oz way back around 1985. I'm no fan of capitalism but I must admit the market rarely lies. Looks like good times abound for UK potheads!

One more bit of good news..
Link between cannabis and mortality is still not established

I would, of course, never advocate the use of illegal drugs ect ect

in the case of cannabis it is ok, since it is legal




















(in some countries).

 

I forgot to say this but

The ironic thing is that in my father's time (1950's), marijuana cultivation was of such inconsequence that people would use it to create hedgerows, or as fragrant rooks in open air restaurants!

Smokers in those days consisted mainly of Turkish Cypriot labourers and some macho type, gambling, fucking swearing Greeks and smoking was never considered a problem, even though it was officially illegal... even more ironically, is that in those days Cyprus was still run by the British Colonialists and they never batted an eyelid.

My mother in law ran a busy cafe in the middle of a huge field for the local dock labourers and she cultivated monster outdoor plants for shade, fragrance and beauty, some of which, she later sold to people that would sample the leaves of the different trees and then order the whole tree of their fancy when it matured:m:

Even as late as the early 80's, I discovered a clipped forest of green growing in decorative pots outside a busy seaside restaurant less than 50 metres from the local cop shop. It was my mother in law that noticed them first; she nudged me and pointed to them and we just grabbed handfuls of leaf and stuffed our pockets

. I tried it but I got nothing off it cos it was immature.

Nowadays sadly, the law is all too heavy for weed.

 

San Dimas, CA??

The city that spawned Bill & Ted??

why God?! Why?!

 

I remember when Panama Red was a favorite and it was only being sold for 150.00 US per pound. My, my , how times have changed. You could also get Acapulco Gold for about the same amount without seeds! I never tried the stuff but knew many that did.
