  1. i know this girl , she is sleep , she has been sleep for the rest of day . in big trouble

    1. How can someone actually be sleep? I see how a person could fall “asleep”. But to actually take the title of SLEEP is pretty bold. What in the hell are they teaching you kids? Thank god I went to school in Calvert.

  2. So the person had a panic attack/paranoia form using THC? This is not an overdose. Not saying it’s ok, but overdose should not be used so loosely.
