Gummy bears contaminated with cannabis - 14 students in the hospital
In the US, 14 students with various symptoms have been hospitalized. They had all previously consumed gummy bears, which had probably been prepared with marijuana. The school encouraged parents to encourage their children to make healthy choices.
Gummibärchen possibly prepared with marijuana
In Chicago, 14 students were taken to a clinic after consuming gummy bears that may have been prepared with marijuana. As the Naperville North High School reported on their Facebook page, those affected would have felt sick and uncomfortable. "All students had different symptoms of different severity," the school writes. Twelve of those affected were treated for complaints such as dizziness, palpitations and dry mouth.

A spokesman for the "Edward Hospital" said, according to "CNN", that the doctors suspect that the complaints were caused by marijuana. Whether that is really the case, however, the police must confirm.
The students reported that the candy had been coated with some liquid. Two of the twelve students remained in the hospital for observation.
"We encourage parents to have conversations with their children to make healthy choices," the school writes.
Health complaints through drugs
Although marijuana is usually smoked, it is sometimes consumed by food. The drug is drunk with cocoa or used as an ingredient for biscuits and cakes.
But whether cannabis products are smoked or eaten, they can lead to health problems such as nausea, palpitations, hallucinations or circulatory insufficiency.
This had recently also experienced several men and women in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After consuming a chocolate cake enriched with cannabis oil, the four people had to be treated in the hospital. (Ad)
