Last Friday in St. Charles, a dozen students and a staff member unknowingly ingested a marijuana-laced substance at Wredling Middle School. Allegedly, one student passed out the chocolate-coated drugs, and it was only when a teacher confiscated the items and “tested” them that they realized something was wrong.

In total, 12 students and one staff member were identified as having consumed the substance. Each student received medical attention from the school nurse and their parents were contacted to pick them up.

Most of the individuals who had consumed the substance experienced no more than mild levels of impairment.
