The person who supplied him was a 17 year-old high school student. That person was caught with two more pounds in his house, making this a total of 4 lbs. These students were not concerned about the consequences of their actions. They were more concerned about making money and playing baseball than they were serving jail time. Also, when questioned, the mother of the juvenile that had four pounds of marijuana in the house claimed that she did not know what was going on in her own home.
Teachers can unknowingly contribute to the problem.
One teacher I had would often joke about drug use. He offered to teach the students drinking games when they turned 21. Occasionally he would pretend to be high, and several times he would pretend to snort the chalk dust, as if it were cocaine. Although he was just trying to be funny and relate to the students, you have to wonder what kind of message that sends. Although there were a few teachers who behaved in this or similar manner, the vast majority of the teachers I had were not tolerant of drug abuse.
