Meet Your Neighbors - Presented by For A Better Community Committee
CISD Parents - The district is aware of the recent concerning behavior in other Houston-area school districts regarding students ingesting THC-infused gummies. THC is the psychoactive substance found in marijuana.
Substances containing THC - such as CBD gummies, Delta 8, and herbal supplements - may be legally purchased by those 18 years of age and older, however, these substances ARE NOT regulated by the FDA. This means that what is listed on the package is not verified by dose, strength, or additional substances. The concentration and strength of THC in these edible products are very difficult to measure and are often unknown.
Those who have consumed cannabis edibles may:
Act lethargic.
Feel dizzy.
Have trouble walking or sitting up.
Have an accelerated heart rate.
Have trouble breathing.
We would like for everyone to be aware that even “legal” substances can still bring harm. In the cases of student hospitalizations at other districts, it is suspected there were additional substances in these gummies. Fentanyl and other illegal substances have been found in these products. Please talk to your students about the dangers of drugs, edibles, and other assumed “natural” supplements. We want you to know that we will continue with our efforts to ensure every campus is safe for our students.
LEGAL DOES NOT MEAN SAFE!
TELPAS Testing is beginning tomorrow. Please ensure that your Emergent Biligual student gets plenty of rest. Students will be completing the Listening and Speaking portion of the State test.
