Students at school in Westmoreland got real high last week and it had nothing to do with their grades.

It had to do with the sale of 'weed' cakes which they purchased at the school and, after eating, could not hold back the effects as they spoke gibberish and giggled away despite the presence of their form teacher. 

A 17-year-old student who allegedly peddles drugs at the school is being sought by the police. 


sold slices 

Information  is that last week Thursday, a fifth-form student brought the cakes to school and sold slices to at least eight boys from one class. 

It was further learnt that a teacher who turned up to at the fourth-form class realised that the boys were acting unusual and subsequently raised questions. 

It was then discovered that the students had eaten the cakes. The principal was told and the police later summoned. 

Detective Inspector Desmond Sewell of the Area One police confirmed the incident and noted that the location of the institution makes for easy access to drugs. 


weed sales 

The police say the school is situated near several areas known for weed sales. 

"We were made aware of the incident by the principal and we actually spoke with the students ... . A student who is said to regularly sell ganja at the school has not been seen since the incident and is being sought," Detective Inspector Sewell said. 

Efforts to get a comment from officials at the school were unsuccessful as all queries were directed to the principal and a cell number provided went unanswered on numerous occasions.
