Several Florida high school students have been rushed to the hospital after consuming edible cannabis gummies, according to news reports. Four or five students were taken in an ambulance in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday after a 9 a.m. call to emergency services. The incident occurred at Stranahan High School, according to the Broward County Public Schools. They “appeared to have an adverse reaction to ingesting gummies,” the district told the Independent. Speaking to WSVN Tshura Jones (pictured), the mother of a hospitalized 14-year-old, said her daughter had asked, “‘Mom, can I come home?’” Her daughter said, “There was a girl who passed out in the classroom. I was scared.” Speaking to CBS News, student Brandon Jordan said, “When you’re on drugs at school, it’s not good. You can act crazy.” Parent Steve Serrano was picking up his son when he spoke to reporters. “It’s not a good situation. Obviously, you never want your kids to be in a circumstance where they have to go to the hospital, especially something of that nature.” The school district said the total taken to the hospital was five, while Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue said it was four.
