Cannabis Cookery: Six children rushed to hospital after student makes weed brownies

But the delicacy served up at All Saints College in Newcastle upon Tyne taught pupils a very different lesson after a prankster sabotaged the proceedings.


The 14-year-old pupil in question smuggled cannabis into the school and added it to a batch of chocolate brownies.It led to six boys being taken to hospital - including the saboteur.
He was arrested after the incident and has since been expelled, while four of his friends, all aged 13 or 14, have been suspended pending an investigation into the incident.


The hash brownies were prepared by the 14-year-old during the morning lesson. He told his friends about the prank and offered them around.


The friends say that they tucked into the cakes because they didn't believe the prankster.When their teacher realised what had happened, police and paramedics were called immediately.


The six boys were taken to Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary and discharged later in the day after showing no ill effects from eating the cakes spiked with the Class B drug.


No action was taken against the sixth boy who was also taken to hospital but found not to have eaten the brownies.The father of one of the suspended 14-year-old boys said yesterday: ‘We got a phone call from the school and they just said, "Your son has been taken to A&E and there are drugs involved."


'We panicked. We didn't know what kind of drugs or what had happened, everything just starts going through your mind.
‘We got ourselves straight there and the police were there and told us what had happened. We were shocked and just couldn't believe it.'He added: ‘All the boys were OK, just a bit light-headed.'He said the school told him the boys knew that cannabis had been added to the brownies before eating them.
But he added: ‘My son swears this student told the rest of them what he had done but they didn't believe him and ate it thinking he was joking.'


A spokesman for All Saints College said: ‘We can confirm that a year nine pupil brought some cannabis into a cookery lesson and shared it with four other pupils after adding it to some chocolate brownies.


‘The pupil who brought the drugs was arrested and has now been permanently removed from school, while the other four have also been suspended. We take incidents such as this very seriously.'
A police spokesman said: ‘A 14-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the incident and has been bailed.'

When I was in 8th grade someone was breaking into my school locker and stealing things, including my lunches. One day I had a brilliant idea--brownies. Laxative brownies. So, I did it. I never figured out who it was, but the thefts stopped after the laxative brownies.
