April 14, 2023 – The school said a rescue vehicle was immediately dispatched and parents were contacted. The school later learned that three more students had also ingested the substance. Two students were taken to the hospital by ambulance and one student was taken by a parent, according to the post.
Right now, investigators believe one of the students may have gotten into an adult’s stash of marijuana edibles and brought them to school.
According to the CDC, depending on the amount of the psychoactive extract in marijuana, commonly known as THC, a child can become very sick after consuming a marijuana edible.
Symptoms can include problems walking and breathing and a higher-than-normal heart rate.
Given what has happened, authorities are urging parents with medical marijuana edibles to make sure those edibles are out of reach of their children.
“With the prevalence of marijuana cards and availability of CBD over-the-counter, we want to stress the importance of parents and families in keeping these items away from children and preventing them from being easily accessible,” the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office wrote.
