ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A fifth-grade student at Albuquerque School of Excellence mistook her parent’s medicinal marijuana for candy and passed it out to other students at school.

“She had this box, it had a label on it that said ‘Incredibles.’ We just thought it was ordinary gummies,” said one of the students who ate the edibles.

The 9-year-old student said she almost immediately knew what she was given was not an ordinary gummy candy.

“I started feeling really dizzy. I felt like the room was going to flip to the side,” said the 9-year-old.

The Dean of Elementary Students, Kristy Del Curto, says the incident happened last Thursday before school started.

“We noticed the student who initially brought the edible to our school was acting strange. She started saying she couldn’t see,” said Dean of Elementary Students, Kristy Del Curto.

Del Curto says three students ate one gummy and the student who passed out the candy ate three or four pieces.

THC gummies can be two to 100 times more potent than traditional marijuana.

“As marijuana becomes legal in each state it’s going to become more and more of an issue I believe,” said Del Curto.

Can we give up the charade of calling it medicine?

““I started feeling really dizzy. I felt like the room was going to flip to the side,”

That reminds me of what one lib told me when Trump won the election.

>>Can we give up the charade of calling it medicine?<<

Exactly. Look at photos of the d-bags lining up to get “medical” marijuana at so-called “clinics.” Just a bunch of lazy potheads looking for their next high. The fact that a child got her hands on her parent’s stash tells all we need to know about the scumbag druggie.

Big problem with edibles and this points it out. Mistakenly eat just one cookie and you are totally unable to function for a long time.

If Barry was hangin’ out at his Chicago crib, playing his video games during Halloween, when he answered to door for Trick-R-Treaters, I hope he didn’t ‘accidently’ hand out his special Gummy Bears....

I call BS on that. Cannabis doesn't work immediately and it's slower when ingested than it is when smoked.

[Does so]

Do pedophiles know that?

You’ll have to ask one.

I remember when M&Ms dropped the tan color because it made the candy look like a medicinal pill and might lead kids to accidentally eat real drugs - these days they take a drug and make it into candy....Yay libs....
