Spanish term or phrase: colocao
Context:

Hay unos niños sentados en el recreo y otro fumando marihuana en otra parte del patio. Lo están mirando y en ese momento lo va a abordar el profesor de turno y dicen los otros niños lo siguiente:

¿Qué hace?
Ese pibe es gilipollas.
¿Qué ha pasado?
Ya le han colocao, por listo.

No sé bien cómo traducir 'ya le han colocao, por listo'

Gracias

Un saludo a todos.
