The sent an email on Tuesday to parents of parents, alerting them to a drug sale that took place at school.
Principal Marilyn Rodahan urged parents to speak with their children Tuesday evening about this issue. She also encouraged parents to partner with her and her staff to let students “know that their health and safety is critical,” adding that if it is known that “anyone or anything" is "jeopardizing the students” at Weber, they should let someone know. The staff, she said, would continue to be vigiliant.
Rodahan later told Patch that, "Although this is a national problem we are taking it very seriously and need the community's help and support."
"As a school community, we are committed to continuing to be vigilant and take proactive steps to address issues that threaten the well-being of our children," she added.

Prohibition has also raised gang warfare to a level not seen since the days of alcohol bootlegging in the United States. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has creating a prison-for-profit synergy with evil drug lords and terrorists. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has removed many of our cherished and important civil liberties. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has put many previously unknown and contaminated drugs on our streets. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has escalating Murder, Theft, Muggings, and Burglaries. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has overcrowding the courts and prisons, thus making it increasingly impossible to curtail the people who are really hurting and terrorizing others. How has that helped our kids? Prohibition has evolved local street gangs into transnational enterprises with intricate power structures that reach into every corner of society, controlling vast swaths of territory, and with significant social and military resources at their disposal. How has that helped our kids?
"For the first time in our history, full faith and confidence in and respect for the hitherto sacred Constitution of the United States has been weakened and impaired because this terrifying invasion of natural rights has been engrafted upon the fundamental law of our land, and experience has shown that it is being wantonly and derisively violated in every State, city, and hamlet in the country." "It has made potential drunkards of the youth of the land, not because intoxicating liquor appeals to their taste or disposition, but because it is a forbidden thing, and because it is forbidden makes an irresistible appeal to the unformed and immature. It has brought into our midst the intemperate woman, the most fearsome and menacing thing for the future of our national life." "It has brought the sickening slime of corruption, dishonor, and disgrace into every group of employees and officials in city, State, and Federal departments that have been charged with the enforcement of this odious law." http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/HISTORY/e1920/senj1926/judgetalley.htm
"Having heard the report on behalf of the members of the Total Abstinence Society, it occurs to me to say that when the law prohibiting alcoholic drink was passed, many thought that there would be no further need for our temperance or total-abstinence societies. Hence the practice of giving a pledge against intoxicating liquors to boys and girls at Confirmation was discontinued. There seemed to be no need of it." "But, unfortunately. Prohibition has not performed the miracles that were expected. According to experts, such as judges, public officials, social service workers, and others, there is as much, perhaps even more, drunkenness and intemperance today than before the passage of the Volstead Act." "When in the past did we see young men and women of respectable families carrying a flask of liquor when going to social events? When did we see young girls, not yet of age, drinking in public, perhaps to excess, cocktails and the strongest kind of intoxicating liquors, and perhaps being overcome by them? That, today, is not an uncommon sight."
Researchers led by Professor David Nutt, a former chief drugs adviser to the British government, asked drug-harm experts to rank 20 drugs (legal and illegal) on 16 measures of harm to the user and to wider society, such as damage to health, drug dependency, economic costs and crime. Alcohol scored 72 out of a possible 100, far more damaging than heroin (55) or crack cocaine (54). It is the most harmful to others by a wide margin, and is ranked fourth behind heroin, crack, and methamphetamine (crystal meth) for harm to the individual. You probably consume alcohol every day. It's a drug that's clearly more dangerous than cocaine. The only difference between you and a crack-head is the time-period we live in.
