They weren't given a test to see if they had taken drugs. This one was a final exam that gave students a basic recipe for the illegal party drug known as "G-H-B."
Teachers say they were hoping their chemistry assignment would interest the students and be real and relevant.' But the school's deputy principal now admits it went too far.
The test did carry a warning that ``G-H-B'' is an especially dangerous drug.
