Teens collapse at school after scoffing CANNABIS cakes brought in by 16-year-old girl
The 16-year-old girl, who had baked them at home, is thought to have been one of six pupils taken to hospital
DELIRIOUS kids collapsed at a high school after scoffing cannabis cakes brought in by a 16-year-old girl.
Police quizzed the teenager after her friends began hallucinating at Shirley High in Croydon, South London.
Staff called ambulances and police after being told the teenagers ate super-strength skunk brownies.
The 16-year-old girl, who had baked them at home, is thought to have been one of six pupils taken to hospital.
Officers are investigating and questioned the girl, who is unlikely to be expelled.
A source said: “She baked the brownies at home with skunk weed and took them into school the next day and stashed them in her locker.
“The girl gave them out to friends at lunchtime and a short while later they began falling ill.
“The brownies were full of skunk grass and would have been the equivalent of smoking several really strong joints.
“The kids were hallucinating and in a state of delirium.
“Teachers realised something was wrong and were told they had all eaten cannabis cakes.
“A teacher called 999 and a load of ambulances and police turned up. It was quite a drama but luckily none of the kids suffered any permanent damage.
“The girl admitted baking the cakes and says it was only meant to be a bit of fun and she didn’t intend to harm anyone."

Police confirmed they were called around 3pm on March 29 “after a number of students reported feeling unwell”.
They said six were treated in hospital, though none was in a life-threatening condition.
The Met Police said: “A teenager was spoken to in relation to the incident. No arrests have been made. Police are working to establish the circumstances."
The co-ed secondary, whose full name is Shirley High School Performing Arts College, has almost 1,000 students.
The school was one of 300 named in January by the Government for under-performing.
It is understood the girl’s parents are separated and she was staying at her father’s home when baking the cakes.

She is not expected to be charged or cautioned and is instead likely to be counselled to avoid being criminalised.
A source said: “She has apologised to the school and the pupils who fell ill. She won’t be expelled for it."
Nobody was available to comment from the school.
