In Our Schools - Prescription drugs
Wanna share my lunch? NO!...
At TampaBays10.com, Janie Porter writes about Hernando County, Florida:
"In the last week, three students at different high schools in Hernando County have been charged with bringing prescription drugs to school.
On Thursday, a 15-year-old at Central High School in Brooksville was found with 27 Klonopin tablets and about half a gram of marijuana. Klonopin is a psychoactive drug that can cause sedation and muscle relaxation by slowing the central nervous system.
Among the drugs, deputies found three Klonopin pills and a note for another student folded in plastic wrap. Allison LeFrancois admitted she was going to give the package to another student, according to the arrest affidavit.
'The defendant also advised she had given many other students Klonopin pills within the last week,' the affidavit read."
