North Vancouver students made sick from pot brownies

We all know to stay away from the brown acid, but it turns out green rice crispy squares aren't much better. Two North Vancouver high school students became sick this week after eating pot-infused baked goods.

We all know to stay away from the brown acid, but it turns out green rice crispy squares aren't much better.

Two North Vancouver high school students became sick this week after eating pot-infused baked goods.

After eating the brownies and rice crispy squares they allegedly bought at the 4:20 Rally in Vancouver, the students experienced nausea, stomach cramps, headaches, vomiting and tingling, according to Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RC MP spokesman.

"It's because they eat enough to become under the influence of THC. One was hospitalized and one was taken home. We know other students did partake of the edibles but only two drew attention to themselves," De Jong said. "Potentially one youth is (facing charges). We're working with the school district and restorative justice to see what we can do to prevent this from happening again."
