Students hospitalized after ingesting edibles

Five Chicago elementary school students were taken to the hospital after eating marijuana edibles at school. The students attended George Leland Elementary School.

The school’s principal told parents in a letter that the students received medical attention “out of an abundance of caution” and that she is working with the school district to handle the incident.

All five students were under the age of 15 and are in good condition.
