Police: 10-year-olds tried to sell pot for dessert, bubblegum
Burnettown police said they don't know where two 10-year-old boys found more than three grams of marijuana or what prompted them to bring it to school and try to sell if for dessert and bubble gum, but they are not taking the matter lightly.
