5 Students Hospitalized After Eating Gummies at School — and Furious Mom Says She's Going to the Police By Sean Neumann

A Florida mom is furious after she says her 14-year-old daughter accidentally ate a marijuana gummy candy at school as part of an incident that caused multiple teenagers to become sick and be taken to a nearby hospital.

The incident happened Wednesday morning when Tshura Jones’ daughter and four other students at Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., were taken to a local hospital after reportedly becoming dizzy and disoriented after consuming edible marijuana gummies during the early morning school hours, according to Local 10 News, WSVN, and local NBC 6.

Jones said in interviews that her daughter was misled and “drugged” by another student who gave her the gummy — and said she is considering pressing charges against the student she claims provided the edible.

“I don’t put anything past any child, but the bottom line is she was drugged,” Jones told WSVN. “I’m going to press charges.”

The mother also expressed frustration with her daughter’s high school in an interview with Local 10 News, saying the school placed her daughter on a 10-day suspension for consuming the drugs at school.

“I feel as though I left my daughter in the hands of Stranahan High School for safety,” the girl’s mother told the outlet.

After her daughter was taken to the hospital, Jones said the teenager was given an IV and appeared unresponsive. “She didn’t know how she got there,” Jones said.

WSVN spoke with the teenager after she was released from the hospital, describing the student as “shaken” from the experience.

“They pulled out something in a green bag, and it tasted like candy,” the student explained when asked about the gummy, explaining that it gave her an “out-of-body experience.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, the Broward County Public School District said, “Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue responded to the school after several students appeared to have an adverse reaction to ingesting gummies. Out of an abundance of caution, five students were transported to the hospital for medical evaluation. The students involved in this incident have received appropriate disciplinary consequences in accordance with the District’s Code Book for Student Conduct. Student safety and well-being are always our top priority.”

According to reporting by Local 10 News, no criminal charges have been filed in the case.

For now, Jones told WSVN she doesn’t “feel safe” sending her daughter back to school.

“I used to work in a rehab facility,” Jones said. “I know fentanyl, these drugs, she could’ve had that, and that would’ve been it for my daughter. Why bring drugs into a school? You come here to learn.”
