Wayland Patch 1/27/12: Wayland Police Confiscate Marijuana Candy from WHS Student. A routine traffic stop on Dec. 10 led Wayland Police Officer Tyler Castagno to confiscate four, quad-dose Cheeba Chew candies from a 17-year-old male Wayland High School student. Cheeba Chews contain THC, the high-producing chemical in marijuana. According to Det. Sgt. Jamie Berger, Castagno discovered other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle during the stop. While Castagno had never seen the candies before, Berger said he "thought he had something" and brought them back to the station. A subsequent investigation revealed that the candies, each equivalent to one joint, had likely come to Wayland with a student from Colorado where they are legal under that state's medical marijuana laws. In Massachusetts, the candies themselves are not legal, but they do fall under the Commonwealth's marijuana decriminalization policy, meaning a civil citation and a fee of $100 can be issued for possession of under 1 ounce of marijuana. Wayland Youth Officer Shane Bowles explained that, because the boy found with the Cheeba Chews is under 18 there are additional stipulations such as a mandatory program and a potential fine for his parents should the program not be completed on time.
