Five students from Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale found themselves in the hospital today, after a situation involving cannabis-infused "gummies" prompted a medical response. Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue arrived on the scene soon after the incident, which unfolded a little after 9 a.m. at the school located at 1800 SW Fifth Place, according to Local 10.
The students reportedly experienced adverse reactions to the edibles, prompting sudden and significant symptoms. The incident left several feeling disoriented and ill, ultimately leading to their hospitalization as a precaution. Broward County Public Schools, in a statement, highlighted the heightened vigilance as these five students were taken to the hospital out of "an abundance of caution," as reported by NBC Miami.
The circumstances leading up to the incident remain unclear as the investigation continues. Officials have not yet released an update on the condition of the hospitalized students, though their admission appears to have been largely precautionary. School administrators and law enforcement are working to determine the source of the gummies involved.
