kindergartener pot-head?

In Miami, a 5-year-old sprinkled marijuana on his friend's lasagna at school.

he might have said it was "oregano," but when a school monitor intervened, he allegedly tried to hide the baggie (maybe he knew it wasn't oregano?).

okay, I am libertarian enough to support one's right to smoke pot (of course for medicinal reasons) BUT if you are a parent, please don't be such an idiot.

first of all, I don't know why a 5 year old should have any clue what marijuana is, that people often claim it is "oregano," or how to make rasta-pasta.

this is clearly a parental problem.

unless, of course, the kid has some bad-boy older friends (but how many older kids hang out with kindergartners???)

My one criticism of this report is that they jump into another report about a 4 year old boy bringing crack to school [a way worse situation and perhaps should have been the lead story], and they don't make it clear that the police officer's statement that "this could have killed these kids" was referring to the crack incident, not the pot incident.

I'm going to sound like an old fart by asking, "what is with the kids these days?"
