Colorado legalizes marijuana; two CU students feed pot brownies to class
Quote:
BOULDER — Two University of Colorado Boulder students are facing multiple felony charges after they allegedly fed pot-laced brownies to their unsuspecting history class — leading to the hospitalization of three people.
The professor of the course was taken to a hospital by paramedics Friday after complaining of dizziness and dropping in and out of consciousness.
"Anybody who thinks this is cute, anybody who thinks this was funny, is going to face pretty serious sanctions, both criminally and potentially within the student conduct process," said CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard.
Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, baked THC-laced brownies for their class at the Hellems Arts and Sciences Building on Friday, said Ryan Huff, CU police spokesman.
After the professor was taken to the hospital, a student's mother notified campus police that her daughter, who had been in the professor's class, was in the hospital after having a panic attack.
Later that day, the parents of another student in the same class took her to a hospital after she told them she felt like she would blackout.
A total of eight people out of the class of 12 fell ill from the brownies.
The names of the professor and students were not released by the police.
"There could be prison time involved in this case," Huff said.
The charges include assault in the second degree and inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means.
The brownies were brought as part of a "bring food to class" day. Police said the brownies and orange juice were the only items brought to class.
Cunningham and Essa are being held without bond at the Boulder County jail, Huff said.
