Friends,
This story from the Associated Press via the information firehose that is the Riverside Press-Enterprise takes a stab at carefully chosen wording, but in the end, I think we have a pretty good idea what really happened…
Officials say teachers sickened in LA by pot brownies
Federal health officials say five preschool teachers in Los Angeles were sickened earlier this year after eating marijuana-laced brownies bought from a street vendor.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday that police investigated the April incident, which occurred at an unidentified school.
A preschool teacher, who did not eat the snack but gave it her adult son, bought the brownies from a sidewalk vendor and shared them with her colleagues.
Five teachers ate one brownie each. The CDC says a sixth teacher took a bite and spit it out after complaining of an “unusual taste.”
The teachers recovered within hours. A brownie sample tested by Los Angeles police found traces of marijuana.
The teacher who bought the brownies was not charged. Police have not found the street vendor.

Yeah, sickened. Are you sticking with that? Really?
The CDC was called in because a few preschool teachers were high for a few hours? With this level of attention, H1N1 should be wiped out in a couple days.
Teachers love to party. At least that's my experience.
People, you must be careful when you are eating weed. It gets you pretty high and can make you feel nauseous. Amateurs can easily overdo it. Especially if your judgment is impaired with, um, something.
