Today, bags of brownies laced with ma*****na were confiscated by the Buhl Police Department upon notification from Buhl High School's Administration. The partnership between our local School District and the Buhl Police Department is pertinent to our community children's health and safety. We are proud of the awareness and proactive approach our Elementary, Middle, and High School Faculty are taking. We know that drugs are a serious problem not only in our community and county but in our State. We take this very seriously!
We are sending out this message as an outreach to our community and parents; if you see bags of this description, please be aware that these are being distributed among our youth. Food laced with drugs can be dangerous! The effects of smoking ma*****na may only take minutes. Edibles, however, take between 1-3 hours because food is absorbed into the bloodstream through the liver. The amount of THC, the active ingredient in ma*****na, is very difficult to measure and is often unknown in food, making overdose (especially if you don't know you're consuming weed-laced food) more likely. If you find a bag of this nature among your kids, please contact our department at (208) 543-4200 or our School Resource Officer. Thank you!
