Teens At Calif School Getting High on Med Marijuana

from WBIR Knoxville TV 10

Officials at the Grossmont Union High School District have sent letters home to parents, notifying them that a number of students have been caught on campus with medical marijuana cards. They are concerned over the growing trend and the apparent ease with which teens are able to obtain the cards.

In the letters, parents, students and faculty are reminded that even if the cards are valid, it is against the law to have marijuana on school property. Recently two East County teenagers were suspended for showing up at school high, with a medical marijuana card as their excuse.

During a series of recent undercover sting operations, investigators identified five local doctors who are issuing cards or prescriptions without proper exams or follow up medical care.
