Her parents house had flooded and they were throwing away stuff. She asked me would I want this book, I said sure. She brought it to work( teacher at jdc) and when I go to open it, you could smell it. I asked one of the guards to check it out and our other co-worker that was also in the room when she gave it to me. He confirmed what it was. What should I do? Should I confront this person or let it go?

I'd burn the book and inhale the fumes......

Confront her with what? An odor? Crumbs? Without testing the crumbs, you don't know for certain that they aren't pumpkin bread crumbs.
If you'd like to keep the book, shake out the crumbs and keep it. If you want to get rid of the odor, put some USED dryer sheets between the pages in a few places and the odor will go in a few days.
If you no longer want the book, offer it back to her--or toss it.
You're not going to end up in jail for "possession of a book that smells like weed". :)

Don't worry too much about it. Just because it smells like something does not mean you are going to get in trouble for it. Nobody can do anything because of a smell. Just clean up the book, read it, and forget about it. Enjoy your new book.

You should mind your own business instead of trying to stir up trouble for a generous co-worker. You have no idea how the aroma or crumbs got there, and only a snoop would notice or care. Get a life of your own.

This is ABSOLUTELY none of your business. It was rude of you to even share this with the two people you already shared it with. If the word gets out, you could cost this person her job without even knowing who left the stuff in the book. If you mention it to her, it should be to apologize for having let the guard and co-worker see it. That was a very thoughtless thing to do.

Clean it up and then read it.
There is no way you can prove that your friend or her parents ever smoked the weed from the book and calling the police will only give them a laugh.

Let it go. Now if it had contained a small beg of white powder, there would be more cause for alarm.

She's a teacher? This needs to be addressed by the school.
Sorry - but drug use is illegal and when we wink and turn a "blind eye" to someone's abuse it hurts everyone.
1. You are an accessory
2. She doesn't get the help she needs
3. What example is she setting for her students - who have to fight the good fight against peer pressure - and now it's the teachers too?
4. The school suffers - getting a bad rep. who wants to send their kids to a drug-nest?
5. The community suffers - who wants to live in a town that puts up with a drug-nest in its schools?
Turn the book to the principal for testing. Tell him exactly where you got it.
You're not a kid. This isn't snitching. You are a professional - act like one.
