Teacher finds bag, is as naiive as the kid, assumes weed and asks where did you get this? Kid drops the name, teacher calls cops thinking (but in no way verifying) they’ve found a dealer. OP has conversation with cops, kid catches wind of it and realises it’s better to run with “yeah it’s for cooking” than “I was trying to buy drugs and got ripped off”.
None of the students are going to admit they tried to buy drugs
one of them must have, how else did OP end up in the office with the cops?

That’s enough to charge right there
Yep - leading to the kind of embarrassment in the original post.
