An Arkansas mom, Lacey Lashley, admitted to giving her teenage daughter THC gummies over several months, claiming she was trying to help her sleep, after a tip to authorities and a positive drug test sparked an investigation. Detectives say the situation escalated into repeated use, possible dependency, and access to alcohol, raising serious concerns about substance abuse and the teen’s well-being. Lashley was ultimately charged and later sentenced to a suspended 12-month sentence, avoiding a felony conviction but still facing legal consequences for endangering her child.

Mom should never have spoken to the police without an attorney.

Let's focus a little more on getting pedophiles out of the school system instead of wasting time and money on this.

@Gr13fKvlt 5 months ago

I thought this was going to be a hardcore drug not a gummy.

The kid would probably sleep better if they’d get some family counseling

@CYBERDON 5 months ago

But if she took her kid to the doctor. And doctor puts her on ambien. Or diazepam. Then she's addicted to pills. Great. 😒

what a waste of time and taxpayer money

@hyacinthmoon6289 5 months ago

This is the dumbest use of taxpayer dollars I’ve ever seen. Leave this poor mother alone ffs.

NEVER TALK TO THE COPS WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY!!! THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!!!!

Why are they acting like the mom slipped the teen coke or meth . 😒 she was trying to help her teen sleep. Blatantly blaming simple gummies on the start of an addiction , alcoholism , and everything else is ridiculous . There’s pedophiles walking around scott free yet a mom gives her teen thc gummies and suddenly it’s a disaster. Yall wouldn’t have lasted a day growing up in the 60s and 70s.

child abuse?????? law enforcement doesn’t even intervene when a child is actually physically being harmed. what is this?

@tofuwiener 5 months ago

sorry but i'm confused as to why there's a claim that lacey "pressured" her daughter to take thc gummies.

@Thoughtology44 5 months ago

"Killing herself bc she took a THC gummy" - That's wild.

@Crippledcyclops 5 months ago

Her dad was probably abusive in every way for her to be that afraid

@jonasfrank9150 4 months ago

“Sounds like she’s addicted to it” absolutely pathetic excuse of a medical system we have

@jenniferdalton464 5 months ago

Maybe they need to ask the child if she is being SA by the dad. Why does she have sleep issues and hate her dad so much?

@JanJones12 5 months ago

A kid doesn’t hate a dad that much unless there was abuse. Her mom needs to ask her if her dad does stuff to her.

@Hope8x28 5 months ago

Making mom look like an abusive felon. THC gummies are less dangerous than psych meds.

Leave this poor mom alone.

She doesn’t see how insomnia is a symptom, it can’t be cured without fixing the disease, which is why nothing worked. Treat the problem, don’t get her crunk.
