A 911 call for a Davis High School student who needed medical attention led to the discovery that a number of students on campus had eaten brownies containing marijuana, Modesto City Schools reported Tuesday.
About 2 p.m. Monday, a Modesto Fire Department engine crew responded to a report a student had fallen and had an altered level of consciousness.
Due to "signs and symptoms observed," paramedics requested an air ambulance, Battalion Chief Darin Jesberg said. The helicopter landed, but a flight nurse evaluated the patient and determined she was stable enough to be taken to a local hospital by ground ambulance, Jesberg said.
While responders were at the treatment scene, a teacher approached and indicated the student's fall and altered state apparently had to do with eating a pot brownie, Jesberg said. An assistant principal already on scene said the report would be looked into, the battalion chief said.
"An investigation into the incident revealed that a number of students consumed brownies containing marijuana," Modesto City Schools district spokeswoman Becky Fortuna said Tuesday morning. "Site administrators contacted the families of the students known to be involved."

“Due to “signs and symptoms observed,” paramedics requested an air ambulance,”
I remember when they only did that for serious incidents.
(Timmy) I, I’m gonna take this aspirin, Mr. Wizard.
(Mr. Wizard) That’s not an aspirin, Timmy.
(Timmy) Sure looks like an aspirin!
(Mr. Wizard) But it’s not, Timmy!
(Timmy) It tastes like an aspirin.
(Mr. Wizard) Dangerous drugs, Timmy!
(Timmy (muffled) I swallowed it.
(Mr. Wizard) Timmy! That pill was designed to stun buffaloes when mixed with buffalo food!
(Timmy [snide adult voice]:) Oh wow! Oh my god. ...
...
..all over the place, Don!
(Mr. Wizard) For God’s sake, sit down, Timmy!
(Timmy) Right, Don!
(Mr. Wizard) ... Let this be a lesson to you Timmy, and to all of Timmy’s little friends out there. Never tamper with the awesome powers of science! Science is your future, Timmy... and the future... is in your hands.
(Timmy) And I hafta eat with those hands, Don!
(Mr. Wizard) Sit down, Timmy.
(Timmy) I am sitting, Don!
(Mr. Wizard) My name is Mr. Wizard, Timmy.
(Timmy) Right, Don. ...wow! I really do like this music, Don!
Did he say the school is in Modesto, Ca.? Oh well, I would be surprised if most of those kids had not been snacking on loaded brownies. Just watch where you go in the unincorporated looking areas. There are a number of ‘hidden farmers’ who don’t wish to talk to anybody.
Good morning class
Good morn.......shut up!
thank yew
For Pete’s sake. A bunch of high school kids eat some pot brownies and they call 911???? I knew plenty of kids who did that every single day, pretty much for all four years, and nobody saw any need to pretend that because one of them stumbled that they needed to act like an artillery strike had just occurred (I would add that some of those kids are now among the most highly successful adults I know). But an “air ambulance”? For pot brownies? My goodness we are officially a nation of hand-wringing pansies.
“a teacher approached and indicated the student’s fall and altered state apparently had to do with eating a pot brownie”. Way to connect the dots, professor Sherlock. Nothing gets by you.
If either air or ground transport shows up and someone becomes a passenger they get to bill for it, long and hard.
Probably a liability issue as some kids encounter breathing problems and other more severe symptoms which don’t show up for a few hours so the person who (incorrectly?) called an air ambulance was fearful of liability issues in addition to whatever was observed.
I googled marijuana use in children and found an American College of Pediatrics article (April 2017) which said:
“Marijuana is addicting, has adverse effects upon the adolescent brain, is a risk for both cardio-respiratory disease and testicular cancer, and is associated with both psychiatric illness and negative social outcomes. “
Sadly, effects “include distorted perceptions, psychotic symptoms, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, disrupted learning and memory, and impaired reaction time, attention span, judgment, balance and coordination....thus learned behaviors, dependent on the hippocampus, also deteriorate. Participants who used cannabis heavily in their teens and continued through adulthood showed a significant drop in IQ between the ages of 13 and 38 – an average of eight points for those who met criteria for cannabis dependence.”

How many lives has it claimed?

Potheads get frantic when their beloved pot is exposed for the poison it actually is.
Many.
The AAA reports on the doubling, tripling of fatal car accidents involving the potheads beloved pot in Colorado and Washington.
Listening to that, it sounds like it might have influenced Mike Judge when he did Cornholio.
Of all the students I had over a five year period, maybe a couple dozen of them were there to learn. When I talked to them in person, I asked, "At what church is your daddy the pastor?" They said, "How did you know?" I said, "You care."
Any day, I could look out into my non-enthused audience and see many smiling, bloodshot eyed zombies high on weed.
Now, after years of leftist pounding on us that it is harmless, supposedly the majority of American public now agree. Only for adults, of course. How naive. If the parents are stoners, their weed will be easily accessed by their kids. Then even more teachers will be able to look out and see even more and better zombies. Thanks to today's much more potent weed, things will get more interesting. How many lives has it claimed? Who knows? See post #14.
Is that justification for their persecution? Are they not your neighbor?
It is a crime. Secondly, there are children under the influence of an illegal substance.
It’s not just “potent weed” it is concentrated hash oil.
One handheld “edible” is intended to be eaten by 6 or more people and then the dopers laugh when someone eats the whole thing at once.
Hangry too.
