Enfield Mom: Daughter Given Pot-Laced Lollipop in School

An Enfield mother reportedly says she wants school and police officials to investigate what her daughter was hospitalized after eating what she believes was a lollipop laced with pot.

According to WFSB, Eva Reyes-Portis said her daughter, who attends Enfield High School, was hospitalized overnight after having a dangerous reaction to the lollipops she said were distributed in the school cafeteria on Monday.

Reyes-Portis told the television station that her daughter told her the lollipops were shaped like butterflies and stars and “she said they tasted pretty good.” She said she believes they were “Cannabis Pops.”

According to toxicology reports, the pops tested positive for pot.

Police Chief Carl Sferrazza reportedly assigned a school resource officer to investigate, according to the report, which can be found here.
