Marijuana gumballs at Howard High attract DEA
Luke Broadwater | The Examiner | Jul 26, 2006

Howard County - At first glance, the yellow smiley face gumballs confiscated from Howard High School seem innocent enough.

But stuffed in the so-called “Greenades” was something that caught the attention of federal drug enforcement agents: marijuana.



“It’s a new idea and it’s new to the DEA,” said Gregory Lee, a retired supervisory special agent of the Drug Enforcement Agency, who had never heard of anyone packaging marijuana in such a way before. “When it comes to drug-dealing, you’re only limited by your imagination.”

The DEA recently released an intelligence bulletin about the gumballs, which Howard County police say were confiscated from Ellicott City’s Howard High in January.

“We’ve not seen anything like this before,” said Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn. “If the DEA thinks it’s enough for an intelligence bulletin to come out, then it’s important. This is the only case of this we’ve seen in Howard County for sure.”

County police said they charged three 17-year-old students at Howard High this year in the incident after a teacher alerted a school resource officer.

On Jan. 11, the teacher told the officer that she saw a student give a small plastic bag that she believed contained drugs to another student. The police officer contacted the student and seized the bag, which contained two small “candy balls” wrapped in foil containing marijuana, police said.

Police charged two students at the school with distribution of drugs on school property and a third with possession of marijuana.

Howard County police turned the gumballs over to Maryland State Police, whose Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory in Pikesville determined each gumball contained approximately one gram of marijuana.

The instructions on the foil of the gumballs told users to chew for 30 minutes to one hour “before you would like receive your high” and to “chew for as long as possible, then swallow.”

Maryland State Police said it was the first time they had encountered “Greenades,” according to the DEA intelligence report.

A friend of mine, told me that one of the local TV stations in the DC area reported that the THC content found in the gumballs was 10 times the amount ever found in Cannabis.

Heres a link to the DEA alert: http://www.dea.gov/programs/forensic...06/mg0506.html

Note that the DEA included this "(THC content not quantitated)".

I believe this article is a Narcanon ploy to generate some free advertising. The police found the gumballs in January. The DEA posted the alert in May. All of a sudden its big news in the MD, DC area at the end of July.

I hope this is a sign that the drug warriors/profiteers are getting desperate.

CNN and others have picked up the story: http://anonymouseducator.blogspot.com/

The highest level I've ever heard reported in marijuana is 29%, so the stuff in these gumballs must be at least 290% THC!
