Colorado students accused of sickening class with pot-laced browniesBOULDER, Colo (Reuters) - Two University of Colorado at Boulder students are accused of bringing marijuana-laced brownies to a college class, sickening their unsuspecting professor and five classmates, police said on Sunday.
Thomas Cunningham, 21, and Mary Essa, 19, were arrested Saturday on suspicion of second-degree assault, fraudulently inducing the consumption of a controlled substance and conspiracy charges, university police spokesman Ryan Huff said.
Huff said three of those who ate the brownies were hospitalized, suffering from the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active property in marijuana.
"If someone views this as a prank, it's no laughing matter," Huff told Reuters. "These (charges) are all felonies which carry potential prison time."
According to Huff, police were summoned to a classroom building Friday morning on a report that a female professor was complaining of dizziness and was drifting in and out of consciousness. The instructor, who was not identified, was transported to a hospital.
Later Friday, the mother of a student in the class notified police that her daughter also was hospitalized after suffering "an anxiety attack."
The family of a third student also notified police that their daughter felt like she was going to black out after attending the class, and that they took her to a hospital.
All three have since been released from the hospital.

Thoughts? Personally, I'd be filing charges too and hope these morally deficient, social r-tards get used as an example... for those that don't know, pot brownies pack a much bigger punch than simply smoking it (in my youth...) This is pretty messed up stuff and I hope they do serve some hard time. [Mad]

[SuperiorDG]

CU students that don't know they are stoned. Strange.[pick-me]

[BPTactical]

Charges due?
Yes
I do see a humerous side to it however, for some twisted reason the scene from "Up in Smoke" where the cops get baked comes to mind....."Your stoned man"

charges, fines, every last cent of the medical bills, absolutely. hard time over a prank (that involved a scary plant), excessive.
yes it was a dumb joke that may well get them expelled. That in itself would knock some reality into kids pretty fast. I don't think we need to make more lifelong felons out of stupid kids. This one is damn close to the line though, could have injured someone.

[ChunkyMonkey]

Yeah... I've done the same.

[SA Friday]

I would be livid. Every student in my majors program know we all have to be able to pass a background, pee test, and poly for employment. We are future crime scene investigators and LE lab analysts. Now, every one of those kids will have to deal with explaining this during any possible future employment interview/process involving backgrounds, security clearances, etc. Yes, it's explainable, but damn. It's hard enough to get hired as it is. Having to explain something like this over and over again in interviews very well may impact future employment.

[Pancho Villa]

Hilarious.

People need to chill. Most of all employers who care if you accidentally did pot at some point in time.

Edit: I think they should still be punished, its not gentlemanly to drug someone without their knowledge, but its an overall harmless prank and should be treated as such.

[SAnd]

They definitely should have a felony conviction so they have it on their permanent record. I don't care if they do jail or prison time as long as there is a felony conviction on their record. It is not a harmless prank. It is deliberate physically invasive assault on another person.

Gentlemanly? That is an extremely interesting word selection. Drugging someone without their knowledge is not a matter of being gentlemanly. I am 100% in favor of the legalization of marijuana, but I choose not to participate in using it. That being said, if I unknowingly ingested some because of a "harmless" prank...I would shit two bricks instead of one. What if I worked in a job where I was randomly drug tested and failed because of this "harmless" prank? The "harmless" prank now has taken food out my son's mouth. What if I was pulled over and found to be intoxicated? Now I have a criminal record because of this "harmless" prank. Still think it's "hilarious"?

I'm all for allowing people to make their own choices. But the second you start screwing with my choices, it's anything but comedic.

I'm with Pugnac on this- it's not a harmless prank, none of the employers I ever worked for or applied to (USG and JCSO included) have ever looked at "accidently smoking pot" as something to look the other way on. If you think this is funny you got a sick twisted outlook on the world. Plus, it goes to show not many know the difference between smoking and ingesting THC. Smoking it is one thing, but ingesting it is a much more potent high that can actually negatively affect people. Further, I know some folks who are allergic to cannabis (yes, the plant), had this happened to them, there is a chance they could have died. Harmless? I think not, actually far from it. Think about if they had laced the brownies with LSD? Or what if someone did die from this? Drug my food without my knowledge or permission, yeah, I'm coming after you with the full force of the US Legal system, as messed up as it is, you probably won't be the one with the last laugh.

[TFOGGER]

So here's a totally unrelated but somewhat relevant hypothetical: What about a contact high from a concert? I went to a Kiss concert at McNichols Arena back in the day, and we were in the upper deck. Needless to say, I got baked just sitting there. I hadn't actively smoked dope since before I graduated high school several years prior. Had I been tested, how would I have explained that to my employer? Never was an issue because my employer at the time flat didn't care unless you were driving for the company.

[Rucker61]

I'm with you guys, not a harmless prank, criminal prosecution is in order, but what kind of yay-hoo accepts a brownie from a CU student?

I think that's a risk you accept taking when you go to an event like that. It's still against your will, but you're not unknowingly intaking something.

I agree it was assault.

It is more than "not gentlemanly" to drug someone without their knowledge. It is hardly harmless if people got physically sick and this created a condition of impairment without the victims' knowledge or consent. It's a felony and should be treated as such -- to fix your grotesque misstatement.

[TFOGGER]

Sooo...hypothetically speaking, is this any different than spiking the punch at a high school dance? if so, why? I'm betting a significant number of the older members of this forum either did that or attempted to do that at one point...

[Aloha_Shooter]

I don't see a whole lot of difference but I had (and still have) the same objections to spiking the punch. I'd guess I'm one of the older members on this forum and I not only didn't do or attempt that, I verbally said I thought it was wrong when talking with someone about "Grease". Then again, I preferred old Sandra Dee with straight hair in sweater and skirt to new Sandra Dee in permed hair and skintight leather.

same thing.. ex-lax cookies anyone?

Was thinking on the ride home about a report last month.
Someone strung a single strand of barbed wire across a bike path just after a curve at 18". perfect height for an endo. They had a much higher chance of injuring someone, were trying to. And if caught would get off pretty light so long as nobody was badly injured.

Kids got caught in a prank. punish em, absolutely, but hard time is beyond excessive.

Not to hijack the thread but why are they called "kids" who "got caught in a prank" when they've given classmates brownies laced with a mind-altering substance but we're supposed to consider them adults when it comes to voting? I keep telling my Scouts that 100 years ago they would have been expected to help with the household income (if not been the sole breadwinner) and behave like adults at age 16. The Pony Express riders were younger than these idiots so while I wouldn't bother with hard time, I'd definitely prosecute and put them on a long probationary period along with heavy community service and fines.

[clublights]

What if it had been roofies?
Even without the rape component is that ok ?

I tend to say no no it is not.

Is it more ok since it's "just weed" ?

Where is the line then ?
LSD, MDMA, Meth, Mushrooms, Herion, Would any of those just be " ok" ?

I say kids because of their age and actions. they are adults though.

[TFOGGER]

I'm thinking that if the amount of dope involved would not constitute a felony, than neither should this. Charge 'em with a misdemeanor, sentence them to a fine, probation, and community service, and move on.

[wreave]

I'm all for allowing people to make their own choices. But the second you start screwing with my choices, it's anything but comedic.

This sums it up perfectly. I've never used drugs in my life, and though I'm completely in favor of appropriately-regulated legalization of marijuana, this would be a serious invasion of my body and I would expect it to be treated as such.

Also, I *love* brownies. If someone brought them to work or class, I'd probably have three if there were enough to go around. Or four. Okay, not more than six. That's on me if they're normal brownies and I don't like the looks of the scale the next day, but if they were pot-laced? Boy would I be having a bad day.

Maybe you should try it. You might like it. But I'm betting after six pot brownies you'd hate yourself. Stick with one. Not that I'd know anything about that. Not to mention you wouldn't be able to throw them up because pot often inhibits that "portion" that makes you want to throw up. Which is why a lot of cancer patients like it? Pot isn't bad IMHO.

Kind of a difference there... alcohol is metabolized and out of the system much more swiftly than THC. Also, most jobs don't test for the presence of alcohol, but do for the presence of THC. Furthermore, drugging someone is quite a bit different to spiking the punch. As I stated earlier, I know people who are allergic to cannabis, I have heard of, but know of no one who is allergic to alcohol... Anaphilaxys (sp?) is a very serious thing, BTDT. Aside from that, again, like I said earlier, ingested THC packs a more potent punch than smoked, and no surprise one girl went to the ER with an anxiety attack. Some know on here, I'm waiting to get on a Sheriff's Dept., had this happened to me my chances would be shot to hell... that's messing with people's livelihood, not just a "harmless" prank. Both are wrong, but there isn't much of a comparison between lacing food with pot and spiking the punch in terms of long term. Of course spiking the punch could lead to underage intoxication, DUI, etc. So there is the immediate aftermath in both cases, but pot has more long term issues.

[Teufelhund]

Dosing someone without their consent, regardless of the substance used, is unethical and should carry consequences for the perpetrators. Felony conviction and the resulting, permanent effects, however, is undue punishment and hardly commensurate with the crime.

Not to down play what happened, but I don't think there was any intentional malice, just some really bad judgment. No one was seriously injured, so there is that as well. I do think these kids should have to pay for the hospital bills for the people that ended up in the ER and get to perform copious amounts of community service and some nasty probation, but I don't think a felony conviction is what these kids need. Though if they violate the terms of their probation/community service requirements, fuck em.

Ages 19 & 21 are not kids. You are considered an adult at 18, act like it, or suffer the consiquenses of your actions.

[SA Friday]

I think he meant

No to LSD Lysergic acid diethylamide, never seen and OD on this, but did see a guy fry his brain to the point of a vegetative state on it.
Yes to MDMA( ecstasy for those of you with less drug knowledge) 3.4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine is the primary drug, but there are at least 3 other sub-derivatives that meet the definition. I've seen one OD on this.
No to Meth; methamphetamine, I've seen multiple ODs and a butt-ton of permanent living zombies from this.
Yes To Mushrooms psilocybin, no OD's but there are a couple of accidental poisonings from the wrong mushroom every year.
No to Herion It's spelled heroin and is morphine diacetate. Butt load of ODs on this...

Seriously, every one of these has the potential to (some always do like meth and heroin) do irreversible damage to the user. None of these are OK, and only heroin has a viable medical use. Meth in a different form has some limited medical uses, but neither meth nor heroin are pharmaceutical grade drugs and the danger of OD is pretty high.

At the end of the day, I'd be more inclined to convict on serious misdemeanors and give them huge freaking fines, treble damages, massive community service and years of probation rather than waste money throwing them in the pokey but the felony charges may be simply designed to get them to plead to lesser charges and save the taxpayers the expense of trials. I'll say this though ... if I were the parent of the perps, they'd wish they HAD gone to jail. I'm guessing the parents of the victims would be nicer than I would if one of the perps was my kid.

yes it was a dumb joke that may well get them expelled. That in itself would knock some reality into kids pretty fast. I don't think we need to make more lifelong felons out of stupid kids. This one is damn close to the line though, could have injured someone.

what you think is a joke, others might not find so funny
the joke ends when you start messing with other people and put lives at risk

a prank is filling their office with empty boxes or rotating the view on their monitor.

Whew, couple of you folks I know now not to invite to my parties...

IMHAOeO, throw the book at them.

The problem is not how much do you value a human life, the problem is not thinking through the consequences for your actions. For instance, this robbery shooting at the Springs liquor store. I keep hearing people say that "a bottle of liquor isn't worth a human's life!" Bull crap, don't steal and you won't be put in the position to be killed. The store owner paid, worked, logged, etc to have that product in his store. I wouldn't let some stupid kid walk in and take it without a fight. I know that's hard hearted but this world would be a much better place if people THOUGHT before they acted.

Back to the lack or morals/ethics/standards and the degradation of our society.

You know what...I don't have a problem with the felony charges. Honestly, if you have such poor judgement that you do something like this...I don't think you are responsible enough to own a handgun/vote/whatever the hell else you can't do when you have a felony.

Oddly enough... These morons weren't the first to do something like this... Only these dipshits were a little more bold.

Two police officers have sued Burger King Corp. (javascript:siteSearch('Burger King Corp.');)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png, claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo (javascript:siteSearch('Isleta Pueblo');)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane Oct. 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, N.M.
The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.
"It gives a whole new meaning to the word 'Whopper (javascript:siteSearch('Whopper');)http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/all/img/external-link.png,"' the officers' attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday. "The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."
Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.
Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.
