Minor midget in school drugs shocker!!

By Dr H0ffm4n (Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:14:40 AM EST) (all tags)

Last night, when packing today's lunch for minor midget (7) I found a cannabis leaf in her lunch box. Should I be concerned?

Yes. by blixco (4.00 / 2) #1 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:19:33 AM EST

If anything, I'd try to find out what she did with the rest of your stash.

Seriously, though.....seven years old? That's a bit young to learn about altered realities. The current non-altered reality should be learned first.

She might not even know what the heck it is.

I mean, let's hope she has no real good idea what the heck it is.

She'd know by Dr H0ffm4n (4.00 / 1) #4 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:29:46 AM EST

Mother of Midgets has been known to hang leaves from the kitchen ceiling to dry. My concern is not that she'd taken a leaf to school.

If she gets caught, and the source is traced to MoM, then she may be thought an unfit parent and you'd have sole custody. Let's face it, nobody wants that.

The leaf? Or reality?

An actual leaf by DesiredUsername (2.00 / 0) #2 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:23:07 AM EST

or a depiction of same? If a leaf, it's probably something she harmlessly picked somewhere. It's not like she has the knowhow to turn it into something smokeable. I assume.

Probably from MoM's stash.

So you're more of a seeds and stem kinda guy? by MohammedNiyalSayeed (2.00 / 0) #15 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 12:32:22 PM EST

I'm pretty sure the leaves would net some sort of effect on a seven year old. It's also not a good sign they were in the lunchbox, as lots of kids tend to eat what is in their lunchbox.

i've heard they're better than nothing by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #19 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 01:01:03 PM EST

and one can even extract the good stuff out of them, if one wants to play with butane, screens, or lots of ice.

So I hear.

Mix of leaves, stems, other detritus, boiled in, ummm, I think ~~we used~~ acetone. Or maybe toluene. Something nasty, anyway. Boiled for a certain amount of time, filtered, remainder boiled down, then mixed with a resin. Results in ersatz hash. Or so I've heard.

: Yes, but as I told bulk chemical by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #23 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 01:09:33 PM EST

I have a gas stove. Great for cooking, not great for chemistry with volatiles.
The cool thing someone once read is to fill a PVC pipe with stuff, stick one end in a pyrex measuring cup, and empty a camping stove's worth of butane in the other. In addition to the shrieking of expanding gas and being enveloped in a cloud of very flammable fumes, you get stuff extracted.
Needless to say, I prefer my risks on two wheels.

A leaf? by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #3 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:25:47 AM EST

So it's come from someone who homegrows? That's quite worrying.

Mother of Midgets has homegrown before by Dr H0ffm4n (4.00 / 2) #6 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 10:31:11 AM EST

But if it was in her lunch box, that means she must have taken it to school. Accidentally or otherwise.

Even if accidental, you don't want to go into the whole 'school telephones you' routine.

How you handle it rather depends on MoM. If the comms channels are open I'd raise it with her.

Unequivocal yes, fucknuts. by Rogerborg (4.00 / 5) #10 Thu Oct 13, 2005 at 11:33:12 AM EST

Legality or not, that's going to get her and/or you on her school's and possibly Plod's shit-list good and sharpish, assuming that they don't just kick her out pour le protection les autres.
Unless you've beaten an unusual amount of character into her, seven is too young to be taking or experimenting with any addicting substance outside of your consent and control. Without a degree of self restraint and responsibility that only comes with age or suffering, harmful abuse (medically or socially) is far too likely. In that I include alcohol, caffeine and sugar.

Nip this in the bud, and I mean literally and I mean now.

I would suggest taking the dope (there's a reason they call it dope) away from the kid and giving the little bloke a hand gun to play with instead.

See, that's the trick with kids. In order to keep them happy you have to make compromises and whatnot.

Are you totally sure? by nebbish (2.00 / 0) #31 Fri Oct 14, 2005 at 05:34:09 AM EST

Firstly, it could just be hemp, which is perfectly legal and will not get you high, no matter how much you smoke (I've tried). You get the seeds in birdseed and it grows all over the place.

A single tomato plant leaf can also look like a broad cannabis leaf.

many plants have 5-pointed leaves by misslake (2.00 / 0) #32 Sat Oct 15, 2005 at 07:33:26 PM EST

many are common in gardens and as weeds in meadows.

japanese maple (Acer palmatum) there are many different kinds. the leaves are green, red, yellow and very pretty, the little trees are striking and the little one may have just picked it up because it was lovely : http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/trees-new/acer_palmatum.html
cinquefoil (Potentilla spp.) comes in many different varieties, many are weeds, some are used in gardens. also, it has the same 5 pointed leaves. http://altnature.com/gallery/Cinquefoil.htm

hemp is also a possibility. there is a lot of "ditch weed" growing out in the countryside here.
she may have seen older kids, grownups, head shops, media etc. with the five pointed leaf displayed as an icon or logo, and known it had some significance and picked up the leaf because it was similar in appearance.

ask her about it. see where she got the leaf before you assume it is really a pot leaf. do you know any horticulturists or home growers? they may be able to give you an identification on the leaf.
