So has anyone, thought that this is based on the word of some teen which was arrested for an unknown reason. Sounds like this boy is trying every thing to point the finger at anyone but himself. Think about it, here is a 51 year old single lady trying to support her self and raze to wild teenage girls. So this is ALL based on the word of a teen age boy that was wanted by the police for a unknown reason. I think we need to hear from Michelle. What is her side, looks like the pot in the kids room, was this young mans. I’m with the lunch lady. What sounds wright to you?

I agree if they spent as much time and money to fight real criminals the world would be a much better place. Those kids are going to smoke pot anyway she was just made it so her kids wouldn’t have to get it on the street.

Agreed! Totally waste of tax payer monies! Can we focus on more important issues?
Geez!

Obviously you are all pot smokers. I think this is news because this just goes to show that legislation should be changed on who can have a medical marijuana license. Not just everyone should have a medical marijuana license. There are people out there that are like I have a headache…bam qualify for a marijuana license, instead of taking a flippin aspirin. It’s all just an excuse to smoke dope. I am all for legalizing marijuana and then taxing it like they do cigarettes. See how many people then will stop smoking it because it then has lost it’s appeal.

I don’t smoke pot but this is just plain stupid. I have been to numerous parties in high school that had alcohol and the parents were involved. I also witnessed a bunch of assualts and violence due to alcohol and I’m sure there were some much worse things that happened that I was unaware of. Where are all of them parents? They still have their jobs and no criminal record. When was the last time that you seen someone smoke weed and get violent?

In my younger life, back when I was in high school, I saw teachers in the back hanging out with the students while they were smoking pot outside the back of the school.
