A Hartford teen is accused of bringing marijuana gummy worms to school and sharing them with other students, making them feel sick.
Police said a 14-year-old student brought the edible marijuana gummy worms to the R. J. Kinsella Magnet High School of Performing Arts Friday and shared them with seven other students. The students reported feeling sick and were examined by the school nurse, who determined they were suffering minor effects from the drug.
One student was taken to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center as a precaution and was later released. The other students were released to their parents.
The student who brought the gummy worms was issued a summons for risk of injury to a minor. She was also suspended from school and faces disciplinary action.
The investigation is ongoing and other charges are possible.
