Florida catering firm are sued by wedding guest for $30k after they laced food with cannabis, causing 'severe, permanent injuries'
daily mail ^

A woman identified as Melissa Stout said she attended the wedding from Michigan. After feeling buzzed from a couple of drinks, she ate some food to stop herself from becoming too intoxicated.

She had a Caesar salad, a pasta with white sauce and bread with herb dip, according to an arrest warrant obtained by Law and Crime.

'After eating the food, she felt much worse,' deputies say. She 'didn't notice anyone else getting sick as she was on her hands and knees throwing up.'

Every guest tested for cannabis showed positive results, according to the warrant, and none who were interviewed by police said they knew their food had been laced with marijuana.

Guests interviewed by police said they would prosecute whoever contaminated the food. By the time police arrived, employees of Bryant's catering service, 'Joycelyn's Southern Kitchen,' were fleeing into their vehicles and away from the venue.

They also said the bride nodded and 'acted as if she'd given them a gift' when they asked her if there were drugs in the food.

Another guest, Miranda Cady, 38, attended the wedding on February 19 as a guest of bride Danya, who was marrying Andrew Svoboda.

The outdoor ceremony took place in a gated community in Longwood, a suburb of Orlando.

Videos obtained by DailyMail.com showed Danya crying at the altar and guests cheering with glee after she and her partner were officially pronounced husband and wife.

'It all hit everyone pretty instantaneously,' Cady told DailyMail.com. 'We were all fine and then we were all not.'

A scared guest asked best man Matthew Svodoba what was going on. But Matthew, who works for the Department of Justice, appeared 'incoherent and could not answer a question,' according the arrest warrant

I know people who are recovering marijuana addicts. Relapsing after a long period of abstaining from an intoxicant can be devastating. Sometimes people never get back to their normal lives, or they die.

Future brother in law laced my food with something in 1981.

That resulted in severe food phobias this day.

You cannot imagine how hard it is for me to just eat enough to survive, still.

So yeah, I can see “permanent injuries”, especially if you’re someone who never willingly got drugged up before.

“Samples of food served at the event were sent to a lab for testing. Lab results revealed lasagna and bread tested positive for THC, an active ingredient in marijuana. “

“.The bride also faces several charges including tampering with food and delivering marijuana. “

She’d be the primary target, for me.

Correct. And that video on the DM page where she is standing by smirking as her husband is being questioned is horrible!
