Cesspool University students prove they can't be trusted even with baked goods!

Hilarious.

People need to chill. Most of all employers who care if you accidentally did pot at some point in time.

Edit: I think they should still be punished, its not gentlemanly to drug someone without their knowledge, but its an overall harmless prank and should be treated as such.

They should be made examples of ! Punished to the full extent of the law !
If that were to happen to. A CDL holder and he or she got pulled for a random, they would lose their jobs and license. There would be no explaining or extenuating circumstances, you are fired end of story.
Completely ruin someone's livelihood and life, real funny, Ha Ha. Harmless prank my ass.
To He'll with you....

It is more than "not gentlemanly" to drug someone without their knowledge. It is hardly harmless if people got physically sick and this created a condition of impairment without the victims' knowledge or consent. It's a felony and should be treated as such -- to fix your grotesque misstatement.

Sooo...hypothetically speaking, is this any different than spiking the punch at a high school dance? if so, why? I'm betting a significant number of the older members of this forum either did that or attempted to do that at one point...

[Aloha_Shooter]

I don't see a whole lot of difference but I had (and still have) the same objections to spiking the punch. I'd guess I'm one of the older members on this forum and I not only didn't do or attempt that, I verbally said I thought it was wrong when talking with someone about "Grease". Then again, I preferred old Sandra Dee with straight hair in sweater and skirt to new Sandra Dee in permed hair and skintight leather.

same thing.. ex-lax cookies anyone?

Was thinking on the ride home about a report last month.
Someone strung a single strand of barbed wire across a bike path just after a curve at 18". perfect height for an endo. They had a much higher chance of injuring someone, were trying to. And if caught would get off pretty light so long as nobody was badly injured.

Kids got caught in a prank. punish em, absolutely, but hard time is beyond excessive.

Not to hijack the thread but why are they called "kids" who "got caught in a prank" when they've given classmates brownies laced with a mind-altering substance but we're supposed to consider them adults when it comes to voting? I keep telling my Scouts that 100 years ago they would have been expected to help with the household income (if not been the sole breadwinner) and behave like adults at age 16. The Pony Express riders were younger than these idiots so while I wouldn't bother with hard time, I'd definitely prosecute and put them on a long probationary period along with heavy community service and fines.

What if it had been roofies?
Even without the rape component is that ok ?

I tend to say no no it is not.

Is it more ok since it's "just weed" ?

Where is the line then ?
LSD, MDMA, Meth, Mushrooms, Herion, Would any of those just be " ok" ?

I say kids because of their age and actions. they are adults though.

I'm thinking that if the amount of dope involved would not constitute a felony, than neither should this. Charge 'em with a misdemeanor, sentence them to a fine, probation, and community service, and move on.

I'm all for allowing people to make their own choices. But the second you start screwing with my choices, it's anything but comedic.

This sums it up perfectly. I've never used drugs in my life, and though I'm completely in favor of appropriately-regulated legalization of marijuana, this would be a serious invasion of my body and I would expect it to be treated as such.

Also, I *love* brownies. If someone brought them to work or class, I'd probably have three if there were enough to go around. Or four. Okay, not more than six. That's on me if they're normal brownies and I don't like the looks of the scale the next day, but if they were pot-laced? Boy would I be having a bad day.
