Marijuana Brownies Sicken Two Girls at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School
One girl was taken to the hospital, the Martha's Vineyard Times reports.
The Martha's Vineyard Times and Vineyard Gazette are reporting that Martha's Vineyard Regional High School officials and Oak Bluffs police are investigating an incident in which two girls fell ill last week after eating pot brownies allegedly brought to school by a third student.
Citing this incident, in which one girl was treated at the hospital, and an earlier case involving a student with a peanut allergy, the school has banned students from eating food anywhere on campus outside the cafeteria, the Times reports.
No criminal charges will be filed, according to the Gazette report.
