What’s this?
No charges have been filed against a West Bloomfield High School student suspected of bringing marijuana-laced brownies on a field trip Wednesday to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. The brownies were distributed to at least one classmate during the trip.

“We conducted an investigation yesterday,” said Robin Innes, director of public relations for Cedar Point.

“No criminal charges were filed.” Innes said authorities had not identified the number of students who had eaten the brownies."What we've learned and determined is that the incident occurred en route to the destination, so it's out of our jurisdiction," Innes said.

According to West Bloomfield Township Executive Lt. Carl Fuhs, a school liaison within the police department was notified when it happened, but “this is not involving the West Bloomfield Township police at this time… and we have absolutely no case pending.”

The classmate who ate a brownie became ill and had to be treated by medical staff at the park, leading the high school's principal, Bob Pyles, to cut the field trip short.The suspected student was questioned but offered little cooperation, according to reports.

Upon return to their high school, the group of more than 200 juniors and seniors were given a note from Pyles that read, in part: “For the safety and well-being of all students on the trip, the trip was cut short and all students were brought back to West Bloomfield High School. At this time, the matter is under investigation, and action will be taken against the responsible parties."

Representatives from the West Bloomfield School District, as well as those from WBHS, were unavailable for comment.

Pot-Brownies!? I guess our LAWS have made alcohol too difficult for teens to obtain. Perhaps we should try the same regulation sytem with (currently) illegal drugs? the alternate hasn't worked very well. Legalization/regulation/education/taxation.End the senseless useless wasteful War on drugs -Protect our kids- enjoy safer communities.

A law was definitely violated , yet it seems there is a problem here with jurisdiction.

Though there is pertinent information missing, I wonder if the student in question has parents with "influence".

The law is the law. Lock this drug pusher up. Look what he tried to do to our kids! If you don't lock him up, you'll be sending the wrong message to all the illegal brownie bakers.
