In Which a Colorado Kid’s Weed Pipe Leads to a High School Lockdown

With the advent of marijuana slowly becoming legal in different states across America, certain locales are going through a bit of a learning curve.

Take, for example, the Adams City High School in Commerce City, Denver. On Friday, the school was placed on lockdown after a classroom filled up with smoke. That smoke was a result of — wait for it — one student’s “gravity bong.”

“As a precautionary measure, our students were placed on a modified lockdown to limit movement throughout the school,” a statement explained, indicating that students who had been in the vicinity of the bong were examined afterward by medical personnel. “As always, students’ safety is our number one priority,” the statement insisted.

The law that legalized weed in Colorado clearly indicates that the use of Mary Jane is only acceptable under the eyes of the law for those 21 years of age and older. But clearly, some high schoolers are eager to get an early head start.

On the plus side, at least the school knows their smoke alarms are functioning properly.
