Several students at Stranahan High School in Florida were hospitalized after consuming marijuana gummies on Wednesday morning.
Broward County Public Schools reported that five students had an "adverse reaction" to the edibles, though Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue transported four.
One 14-year-old student's mother stated her daughter believed the gummies were candy and described the experience as an "out of body experience".
Toxicology reports confirmed the presence of marijuana in the student's system.
The incident is currently under investigation, and the students involved are facing disciplinary action from the school.
