Teachers ate cannabis cake

[Kellanved]

Ten schoolteachers have been taken to hospital after eating a cake laced with cannabis.

It had been left in the staffroom of the Herder Grammar School in Lueneburg, Germany.

Staff said they were not suspicious of the cake because they had been running a scheme where students could leave cakes in the staff room.
...
Teachers tucked into it during the lunchtime break, and it was only when almost all of the gateau had been eaten they started to feel ill.

1. Don't go to the hospital, go to the movies

by way of a good chicken wings joint.

2. in hospital???

did the munchies make them eat til they exploded or something? why to hospital? were they too easy to get along with? no comprendo.

6. If you're not expecting the high, and not familiar with it,

you'd assume something was very, very wrong.

It's been a long time since I've, um, partaken. I'm not sure if I'd realize what was going on right away, if I wasn't expecting it. I get vertigo now; I'd probably assume I was having a bad spell of it, if the "room is moving" feeling kicked in before the actual high (which did happen on occasion). I'd probably figure it out reasonably quickly, though.

7. Agreed...

if a bunch of straight-laced German schoolteachers started to get high, they would naturally assume they were poisoned.

3. Happened once at a factory I used to work at

Someone brought in a batch of Christmas cookies laced with hashish. Sent several people to the hospital, including one gentleman with a heart condition. They knew who had done it-- as the department's union rep at the time, it was my duty to stay with him during the first phase of the on-site police questioning (until they read him his rights).

As someone who has in the (distant) past eaten hash brownies, I can tell you the "high" is completely different from smoking the stuff. 100% of the THC gets absorbed directly into your system, and it can hit HARD. If you're not expecting it, or if you don't use, it can really be dangerous!

18. It happened in Department 168 of Briggs&Stratton

a long time ago too!
Despite best attempts to just keep it among a select group during Halloween, a Supervisor ate a bunch of the magic brownies-he made it through the shift and there weren't any problems.

I know because I baked the brownies for the brothers and the sisters!

BTW, I think it is a crime to lace anyone with anything, horrible to even consider-a form of chemical warfare in my book.:smoke:

4. As an aside, if you're on LSD and get arrested

Never say that you are on it, otherwise they send you to the hospital and you get strapped to a bed, which is the worst thing to do to someone who is tripping hard.

5. The hospital?

Why not send them home with snacks, gallons of water, and some DVDs?

The stuff must be different than the cannabis my mom baked in brownies and fed to me, unsuspecting, when I was 12.

[chimpy the poopthrower]

12. Whaaaa!?

Your Mom gave you drugged brownies? :wow: What on earth for?

[tom_paine]

17. Yeah, I have to say that's pretty fucked up

Sorry, but giving a 12 year old pot has to rank right up there with Stupid Parenting of all time.

Sorry to insult your Mom, maybe she's cool as hell but that's wrong, IMHO.

19. She thought it was funny.

It was 1972. I was 12. She was experiencing her first burst of adolescent rebellion in her 30s, having moved from the control of her conservative midwest family and discovered California freedom.

It was halloween night. I was passing out candy to the kids ringing the doorbell; she was passing brownies to her friends visiting. They offered some to me, and to the dog, and proceeded to sit back on the couch , watch me, and the dog, and giggle hysterically...I remember that both the dog and I were really thirsty.

I was pissed when she told me the next day; mainly because I didn't like being a sideshow for her friends. It wasn't ok.

But I think the stuff was milder 30 years ago. Or maybe not; In the 70s it seemed like it was everywhere in everything.

8. "they started to feel ill...?"

That's not what we call it up here behind the redwood curtain....

9. Where they in "high" school?

[Kellanved]

11. he he

The joke aside: you can call it that. It's a pre-academic school, grades 5 to 13.

15. There's a grade 13 in Germany???

In North America it only goes up to 12.

[Kellanved]

16. depends on the state

But yes; the pre-academic school has thirteen grades in all western states.

The school system is three-tiered:
Hauptschule : grades 5-9
Realschule: grades 5-10
Gymnasium grades 5- 10 + "Oberstufe" grades 11-13

The visited school form is important; for example only graduates of a "Gymnasium" (or pre-academic high school) can attend a full University.
The degrees are compatible; i.e. after finishing a "Hauptschule" one can attend 10th grade in a "Realschule" etc.
The attempts to introduce an unified school system were blocked by the conservatives; the existing "American style" schools ("Gesamtschulen") have a very bad name, :shrug:

10. worst we ever did to an obnoxious teacher who like the girls too much

was bake him a 'chocolate cake' laced with about a quarter pound of chili powder... He took it to the teachers' lounge as proof to others of how 'his girls loved him'. After one bite, a fellow teacher advised the would be Romeo to rethink our opinion of him.

We had an unsuspecting mole in the teachers' lounge. My co-conspirator's mother was the high school librarian... We loved the reports of that day Bawhahahahwwwhhhaaaaaa

13. I thought about doing that at work

I know that I would be in a lot of trouble though.
We have baked two batched of cannabis sweets. I liked the brownies that my husband couldn't get high off of after eating a quarter of the pan. That was a nice high.
Then we made stronger rice crispy bars and I ended up having a bad panic attack from it.
I suppose that it was scary for them, especially not knowing why they were feeling that way. Really though, unless they had a serious medical problem, they were safe.

14. The doctor gave them a bag of chips, the Matrix on DVD, and

copies of The Wizzard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon.

20. reminds me of a couple of things

having a scheme where students can feed teachers is just asking for trouble in my mind - I was in a class in highschool where we had to cater for teachers meetings - we put all sorts of shit in the food - nothing hazardous just excess salt, sugar, chilli - eggshells.

another was the story from Aust a few years back about some Jehovah's Witness' being fed some hash cookies at some jokers house, had it been anyone else I think the genereal community attitude would have been "that's very irresponsible" but I think after trying to politely explain you're NOT interested in the Watchtower magazine every second Saturday morning most people even on the tabloid talkback radio stations seemed to be of the opinion it was rather funny
