A high school in Colorado, one of the first two U.S. states to legalize recreational marijuana use, was put on partial lockdown on Friday after a student’s weed pipe filled a classroom with pot smoke, the school said.
The smoke from the device, known as a “gravity bong” or “bucket,” was released into a classroom at about 9:45 a.m. at Adams City High School in Commerce City, a northeastern suburb of Denver.
“As a precautionary measure, our students were placed on a modified lockdown to limit movement throughout the school,” the school said in a statement, adding that teenagers who had been near the device were examined by medical personnel.
“As always, students’ safety is our number one priority,” it said. “All students were fine and the school is resuming business as usual.”
The school said it was working with the proper authorities to resolve the issue, and that it would provide more information when available. It did not give details on the student who brought the pipe to class, nor possible disciplinary measures.
Colorado voted in 2012 to allow recreational marijuana sales to adults aged 21 and older beginning this year. But consumption of the drug by minors, or by anyone in public settings such as schools, parks and on the street, remains illegal.
The tale of the partial lockdown received widespread attention on social media, with some Denverites describing it as the story of the day and an “only in Colorado” moment.
A gravity bong or bucket uses the force of gravity, normally by releasing water from a chamber, to suck a large amount of pot smoke into a container, from where it is inhaled by the user.

Yea, there was never any pot smoke at school when I was a kid. Only now when teen rates of usage have dropped to an all time low, along with violent crime, do kids smoke pot in school (right). The story of the day should be that Colorado leads the nation in economic progress.
Why don’t we accept that vices are not crimes, people are not slaves, the government schools are a complete failure (which of course only need more money to succeed) and we need to get our heads out of our asses and see that its our fine patriotic saviors that need to be put in lockdown.
“As always, students’ safety is our number one priority,” it said.”
Then why wasn’t Hazmat called?
Nuke the entire site from orbit–it’s the only way to be sure
I smoked pot in the bathroom and never used a gravity bong.
We did 1 hiters once in english class.
I did lsd in class a few times.
Never locked down a school though.
I smoked pot in the bathroom too, NTB.
On a plane. 🙂
on an aircraft carrier
Lots of places to hide there.
Bathrooms on commercial airliners are smaller than a broom closet.
Tough to be discreet…
In a box with a fox while eating green eggs and ham?
No, that would be a LSD moment.
Sounds more like shrooms.
