Two North Atlanta High School students were suspended recently for allegedly bringing marijuana-laced brownies to class and passing them out to other students.
The incident happened Jan. 23, according to Atlanta Public Schools spokesman Keith Bromery. He said seven students are believed to have eaten the brownies the girls brought to yearbook class.
"Several students experienced some effects of eating the brownies, but none were believed to have been made seriously ill," Bromery said. He said parents were notified about the incident. He said he understands that the two girls who allegedly brought the brownies to school were taken into custody by Atlanta Police. He did not name the students.
This comes on the heels of another pot-brownie incident in Oconee County where two teens were arrested at North Oconee High School in Bogart Tuesday. Police arrested the teens after receiving a report that a 16-year-old student brought the brownies to school to celebrate another student's birthday. One student fell ill and told school authorities about the brownies, according to police.
Alexandria Marie Stubbs, 17, and Travis Michael Wells, 18, were charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, according to an Oconee Sheriff's Office news release. Police filed juvenile complaints against three other North Oconee students.
Last November, a Marietta High student faced charges related to marijuana-laced brownies. James Lawrence, 18, allegedly distributed drug-tainted brownies on a band trip. At least five Marietta students had to be taken to the hospital, including one by ambulance, according to Channel 2 Action News. The students were treated and released.
