An eighth grader at a Queens intermediate school was suspended after selling brownies laced with marijuana at his Bellerose school.
The student was selling the brownies out her book bag for $3 each. Another student reported her to school officials on Monday.
20 students purchased the brownies from the girl at Intermediate School 208. Its estimated that she made $250 from the brownies.
“They slipped my son a mickey,” said one mother to the Daily News. “How come nobody noticed these kids were high?”
Her son allegedly didn’t know the brownies were laced and panicked when he started to feel the effects.
“This was a troubling incident, and as soon as the school learned about it they reported it to us and reached out to the parents of the student involved,” said Margie Feinberg, spokeswoman for the Department of Education.
School officials plan on bringing a counselor to speak to the children about substance abuse.
