An 18-year-old college student in Bacolod City was found with 10 grams of suspected marijuana as he was entering his school.

Campus security reportedly found the suspected marijuana first in the student’s pocket during inspection. The security guard found another plastic containing suspected marijuana inside the student's water tumbler. 

“Ang school mismo nag-iimplement rin tapos mahigpit na sila ngayon kasi in and out ang mga estudyante sa eskwelahan. Tinatago na nila sa mga tumbler kung saan para lang mapuslit nila,” said Lt. Raphael Palacios, Deputy Station Commander of the Bacolod City Police Station 4.

In an interview with GMA Regional TV Ratsada Balita, the student said he bought the suspected marijuana online.

He reportedly used it to relax and destress, and even to help him sleep.

“Pamparelax, pampatanggal ng stress, pampatulog, sir. Hindi ko rin naman sinasadya na madala ko ito sa eskwelahan, sir,” the student said.

The school did not issue a statement but said the student had just transferred to the school.
