"Mebbe I'll tell 'em I'm a Christianist and laws don't apply to me if I don't believe in 'em!"

Back up that slanderous statement. I remember how inaccurate your statement about Focus on the Family was.

I'll be interested in seeing you "put your money where your mouth is."

what is possession of a non-controlled substance, that could be anything.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

It is controlled by the school. They don't want to be pill experts.
Control is control.

an aspirin.

No student may give/provide to another student any form of medication.

If your kid needs an aspirin or anything else during their time at school then the parents are supposed to send it into the school nurse along with a note describing it's use and frequency.

It's in the student/parent literature you sign every year.

Since they are speaking of criminal charges, I don't believe that's quite what they're talking about. Distributing aspirin may be a violation of the school rules, but I think what they were meaning to say is that they illegally possessed or distributed some drugs which are not listed in one of the "schedules" defined by the Georgia Controlled Substances Act - thusly calling it "not controlled" - but are only available by perscription and still subject to legal guidlines by the Georgia Dangerous Drug Act. This would not include aspirin. I think this was just a poorly worded way of saying they violated the Dangerous Drugs Act instead of the Controlled Substance Act on some of those counts.
As far as the "imitation controlled substance", this means that the person represented some item or other drug as a controlled substance for the purpose of selling it as such (like selling somebody a bag of oregano and telling them it is marijuana). Of course this means they actually had to try and do that, obviously one need not be fearful of carrying around a bag of spices.

that would be like oregano or something?

I yam what I yam...Popeye

That's a crime?

Passing off non-controlled substances, like oregano, as controlled substances, in this case marijuana is illegal. So, if a student was selling M&Ms but as some illegal drug, then that person gets arrested.

As a MHS alum, this is just sad. Not a new problem at any high school, but sad nonetheless.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

That Not Again is probably right. Monkey See Monkey Do!

I went to High School in the late 70's early 80's and there were drugs there too. Morrow High, at the time, considered one of the finest schools in the area.

I would bet it would be rarer to find a school without any drugs than the other way around.

I agree, good job catching them.

I also went what was considered one of the top 10 HS in New York.
There were drugs there but I never even hung out with the "druggies."
I had an after school j-o-b at the public library and my parents were very strict about that sort of thing. Every time something like this happens, the parents need to be put on display and asked the hard questions in front of the cameras.

Why, so you can watch?
They love the cameras! Don't you see them on local TV, saying how they want justice, every day?

Haha.
