Yeah, even if its true, it could of been much much worse - they could of had access to any number of prescription meds, household stuff - that could actually kill em.

When I was in primary school in the 90s another student offered me "jellies" aka Valium.

It's nice to see that past 30 years have seen a shift away from hard drugs in primary shools.

They were called duck eggs around here. Various colours but usually 20's were yellow and 30's were green. I've seen liqiud temazies on the dark web in the same shape but never the old fashioned jellies which had a thicker more jelly like interior. Banned due to crazy mainlining fools losing their limbs, so probably for the best!

Aye they've got quite a few names up here. Blues, scoobies, WD40s, rangers taps.

Say what you want about young rapscallion who offered me two "jellies" for £2 in primary 6, he certainly knew the best jargon for his target market of the day.

This is bad publicity for the cannabis scene, unfortunately these type of things keep happening.

Not to be confused with anything that ends in arzipan, which is awful.
