Tuesday night deputy Jermey Schwarz with the Lancaster County Sheriff's office told parents Tuesday marijuana can cost anywhere between 5 to 500 dollars.

After hearing that information and more about the drugs parents couldn't believe what they were hearing.

At Southeast High school dozens of concerned parents asked questions, looked at marijuana products and learned from law enforcement on ways to communicate with their children about the dangers of marijuana.

"I came with my mom just to hear about some of the stuff that was going on but i didn't realize the consequences that it was the same as a DUI, which when you think of a DUI you think of major consequences and ruining your life basically," said student Alex Hughes.

Deputy Jermey Schwarz led the discussion by showing parents where their children may find the drugs, how to spot the symptoms, and the consequences they can face.

"I need to do some of my own research I think myself and then certainly have those discussions with my daughter and finding out again are kids in your school doing it," said parent Jeri Johnson.

The forum was the first of many that Lincoln Public Schools plans to hold for parents on drug use this month.

Parents were so interested in the information given tonight that the forum lasted an extra hour and a half.
