The student newspaper at Colorado University – Boulder reports that some students drugged their peers and a history professor with pot brownies on “Bring Food Day.” The newspaper states:

Two University of Colorado students are facing multiple felony charges after campus police say they provided marijuana-laced brownies to unsuspecting classmates and their professor on Friday, sending three to the hospital and sickening five others.

The two students – Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19 – were arrested Saturday night on suspicion of second-degree assault, inducing the consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault and conspiracy to induce the consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means.

… CU police responded to the Hellems Arts and Sciences building around 10:20 a.m. Friday on a report of a history professor complaining of dizziness and losing consciousness, Huff said. Paramedics transported the instructor, who has not been identified, to the hospital.

Around 4 p.m., a student’s mother notified CU police that her daughter, who was in that class, was having an anxiety attack and was at a local hospital, according to police.

On Saturday, a second student told CU police she felt like she was going to “black out” after class. She, too, was taken to a hospital for evaluation, according to CU police.

CU police say their investigation revealed that the three hospitalized victims — and five other classmates — were suffering from the effects of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Police say Cunningham and Essa baked THC-laced brownies and brought them to class as part of a “bring food day,” but didn’t tell their classmates or professor that there were drugs in the baked goods.”
