The vaping and fentanyl hazards were addressed by the Pleasanton ISD Police Force, District Attorney Audrey Gossett-Lewis, and County Attorney Lucinda Vickers. The police force highlighted the significance of HB 114, which enforces a strict no-tolerance policy towards vaping in schools and extends the regulations to cover tobacco, nicotine, and THC. Any students found in possession of a tobacco or nicotine vape will be relocated to an alternative school, while those found with a THC vape will be apprehended and taken to a county facility. The District Attorney and County Attorney thoroughly examined the legal implications of possessing THC vape products. The discussion also shed light on the perils of fentanyl, emphasizing the lethal impact of even a small dosage on adults, as well as the various methods employed by criminals to conceal the substance, such as lacing prescription drugs.
