Not an Edible: Three juveniles fell violently ill after they all consumed cookies that later were revealed to contain high levels of THC. The students – some trying initially to cover for one another - told police they got the cookies from a fellow student. Two of them knew it was supposed to contain marijuana. The student who supplied the cookies initially told police he took marijuana-laced butter from his father, who used marijuana for chronic pain, and made marijuana-laced cookies. He later admitted the drugs did not come from his father but from another student. He received it in the form of a yellowish extract which he combined with ready made cookie dough from the store to make his own cookies. He was suspended from school for the last four days of the school year. The case was forwarded to Remann Hall.
