Howard County - At first glance, the yellow smiley face gumballs confiscated from Howard High School seem innocent enough.


But stuffed in the so-called “Greenades” was something that caught the attention of federal drug enforcement agents: marijuana.
“It’s a new idea and it’s new to the DEA,” said Gregory Lee, a retired supervisory special agent of the Drug Enforcement Agency, who had never heard of anyone packaging marijuana in such a way before. “When it comes to drug-dealing, you’re only limited by your imagination.”
The DEA recently released an intelligence bulletin about the gumballs, which Howard County police say were confiscated from Ellicott City’s Howard High in January.
“We’ve not seen anything like this before,” said Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn. “If the DEA thinks it’s enough for an intelligence bulletin to come out, then it’s important. This is the only case of this we’ve seen in Howard County for sure.”

County police said they charged three 17-year-old students at Howard High this year in the incident after a teacher alerted a school resource officer.
On Jan. 11, the teacher told the officer that she saw a student give a small plastic bag that she believed contained drugs to another student. The police officer contacted the student and seized the bag, which contained two small “candy balls” wrapped in foil containing marijuana, police said.
Police charged two students at the school with distribution of drugs on school property and a third with possession of marijuana.
Howard County police turned the gumballs over to Maryland State Police, whose Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory in Pikesville determined each gumball contained approximately one gram of marijuana.
The instructions on the foil of the gumballs told users to chew for 30 minutes to one hour “before you would like receive your high” and to “chew for as long as possible, then swallow.”
Maryland State Police said it was the first time they had encountered “Greenades,” according to the DEA intelligence report.

That's pretty cool...I wonder what next "creative distribution" method will be for opiates? I'm sure that you could manage to get a pharm. opiate in a gumball, afterall Actiq is already on the market as a lollipop. Very interesting idea...has lots of potential. Imagine Bazooka bubblegum full of Dilaudid...i'm drooling on the keyboard now...:D

Thats funny how the officials say “When it comes to drug-dealing, you’re only limited by your imagination.” Hell Fuckin Yeah. Like the above poster said, we already have fentanyl soaked lollypops, I mean I just cant wait to see what they will come out with next.

[caesee]

since I live in cali, and have a medical marijuana recommendation I have had gumballs, candybars (reefers, stoners, buddafingers, ect) soda (which is awesome) suckers, and more..But still a bong tonk is the best but the others come in handy if you happen to be somewhere u cant smoke..

[insanesteveo]

i always wondered how that medical marijuana worked in cali. how easy is it to get rxed? and what about growing FOR the medical marijuana supply. isnt there a card you have to get? how easy is that to get?

ive always wanted to move to california, for many reasons. this could be one.

[shaunclo]

It is ridiculously easy to get the medical MJ card. It cost about a 100$ for 1 year. I have had many many friends get it for any reason whatsoever, my back hurts and smoking weed is the only thing that helps, I cant breath inn the morning till I take some bong tokes, you wouldnt believe the reasons they give out those cards for.

So yes, it is very easy, and it usually costs around a 100 bucks for a yearly fee.

[slugbone]

imagination huh?

in the old days i'd just smoke a nug on top of a dented diet coke can with a hole poked in the back for the "carb"... the good old days.

[WarmCyanide]

I was eating lunch and picked up an LA Weekly. "Medical MJ consultations: House calls!" you dont even have to set foot out of your door. But It'd be a little weird huh?

While I admire the inguinuity, I fear that the powers that be will use the "their marketing it to children" angle to better control Marijuana like they have with other drugs. Pretty fucking cleaver, while I believe that these products are used mostly medicinally I dig the rave culture popping it's head up through their advertising... sampling and spoofing already existing products. But I think I would rather just smoke a bowl myself.

[Levity]

Personally, I could go for a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream with PCP sprinkles.

[cronosaegis]

Jane is the most effective anti-anxiety medicine of which I'm aware. I'd give my left nut for a box of those gumballs. Fuckin' a.

[chemboy7]

Chem, I think that's a take-off on Nutella, a creamy spread that's popular in Europe and some places in the US. Made out of hazelnuts, I think, and sort of sweet-tasting.

Yeah, that makes sense... they got butter's and other spreads.

Dont be so hasty, I have had some of those MJ concoctions and still, nothing beats smoking a fat bowl or good rolled J, when you eat those lollypops or MJ spread, its like there is something missing, the high just isnt the same.

[SirDonkeyPunch]

ive seen a most if not all of those pics from the DEA MircroGram lol. i got bored and totally faded one night and read thru their archive. however..

me and my buddy made pot brownies once. an ounce of commercial into the mix. after we baked em we got the bright idea to split them into 8 brownies, so each one would be an 8th. we both at 2 and long story short. we were floored for the day; vegged out.

[Levity]

As a side note, the mary-jane gumballs thing was listed on Fark.com today.
Any fellow farkers around?

[caesee]

As Mr.Shaunclo said it is easy to get a cannabis recommendation in cali. When i got mine I had copies of all my medical records including mri's, it was a huge enlevope full of documentation. The doc did not even open them..We discussed why I needed cannabis for medical purposes, and he went over some issues regarding cannabis and smoking vs. vaporizing, and both of those vs. eating, as far as your lungs are concerned and overall effectiveness of them. The doc I used was very educated on the medical properties of cannabis, not just writing the recommadrions to make $100 from everyone like *some* docs around here do. I hope at one point one day all doctors will agree on the medical benefits of cannabis, but i doubt that will happen in my time.

Anyway I believe I have tried every product that you listed the pictures of, and many more. They are good novelties that I tried mainly for that reason. As I said before many are good for times that you *can't* smoke. Nothing beats being at a public place like a fair and eating a stoners bar, while you sip on a Potsee soda, and no one is the wiser!! I have enjoyd doing this many times!! Now most of the products are made with canna butter that is made with leftovers (cost effective for the maker, the most expensive part is the packaging for most) so they are not that strong, very mellow. I eat at least 2 candybars to feel any type of buzz, and at most clubs they range from $10-$15 each. Then there also "gourmet" candies that cost $20 that are not made with trimmings, they are made each with 1 gram of hydro, and these do the trick...but over all the most bang for the buck is the Potsee soda. But nothing beats a nice fat bowl out of my 2 foot ROOR, or a vap. bag from my Volcano, smoking or vaporizing is still the best way to cures what ales you.

umm no more herb gum.....

Pot Gumball Distributor Arrested

ARLINGTON, Va. - The Arlington County Police Department in Virginia said it found the man who distributed marijuana-filled gumballs to Howard County.

Police arrested and charged Paul C. Cofer, 20, of Arlington, with drug possession with intent to distribute July 22 after finding "hundreds" of yellow smiley-face gumballs in his apartment, some of which were filled with marijuana compound.

"Our concern is obviously that gumballs are appealing to young children, and we don't want these to harm anyone," said Detective Steve Gomez of the Arlington police force.

Gomez said authorities are unsure if Cofer was distributing the drugs up to Maryland, though the gumballs seem identical to those confiscated in Ellicott City.

"It appears he was turning the unaltered gumballs into the laced gumballs himself," Gomez said.

"They look like the ones seen in Howard County, but I don't know if this guy was connected there or not."

Howard County police said they are aware of the situation.

"We're working to determine if they are related," said officer Jennifer Reidy, a Howard County police spokeswoman. "We can't tell for sure."

Howard County police arrested and charged three 17-year-old students at Ellicott City's Howard High School in January after confiscating the yellow gumballs called 'Greenades.'

The Examiner on Wednesday first reported on the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's bulletin, alerting its agents to be on the lookout for marijuana distributed in such a way.

The instructions on the foil of the gumballs found at Howard High told users to chew for 30 minutes to one hour "before you would like receive your high" and to "chew for as long as possible, then swallow."

The gumballs in Virginia had a new and different packaging, Gomez said.

Drug enforcement agents, Maryland State Police and Howard County police all said they had not seen drugs transported in such a way before.

Gomez described the packaging as 'very ingenious.'

Fuck, I knew those bastard's where gonna say that!

[HistoryofMadness]

Fuck, I knew those bastard's where gonna say that!

No shit, anyone thought we like gum too? Hell pot's appealing enough to kids on its on, right? Once high, gum or any other candy becomes equally appealing.

That's pretty cool...I wonder what next "creative distribution" method will be for opiates? I'm sure that you could manage to get a pharm. opiate in a gumball, afterall Actiq is already on the market as a lollipop. Very interesting idea...has lots of potential.

I chewed up 10 or so k4s (dilaudid) once trying not to get busted while being escorted out of a resturaunt for nodding out on the table. Needless to say I was fucked up but I stopped by the gumball machine to get a handful of those chicklets, had the dillies in the hand I grabbed the gum with, and tossed them down.

Fucked up thing is the cop didn't even search me, just told me to go home if I thought I could make it. Of course, since I'd just eaten my stash, I couldn't go home... went to score again, THEN home.

Point is the gumball of dilaudid got me high, but overall a waste compared to spiking.

Any route of administration other than IV is a waste of Hydromorphone, IMO.
