'Model pupil' baked cannabis cake for teachers
Story filed: 09:51 Tuesday 17th February 2004 | Ananova

A "model pupil" has admitted baking a cannabis cake which put ten teachers in hospital.

Staff at the Herder Grammar School in Lueneburg in Germany thought it was a chocolate cake.

The sixth form student, not named for legal reasons, was arrested after an anonymous tip-off and has agreed to make a public apology in front of the whole school in order to escape prosecution.

Police who searched the student's home found traces of cannabis.

The 19-year-old, who is only a few weeks away from his final exams, said he had thought it was "a funny practical joke" - but now regretted it.

Horst Homburg, headmaster at the Herder school, said the student had previously only been known for his "impeccable behaviour" and was a "model pupil".

The teenager will not be prosecuted or expelled from school but he will have to carry out community service at a local hospital and pay a police fine.

Ten of the school's 65 teachers had to be taken to local hospital where doctors carried out drugs tests and confirmed that the teachers had consumed cannabis.

On some level I suppose this was inteneded as a practical joke, but I cant help but wonder... When a model student gives the 'teachers' a little shock therepy, who doing the teachin...?

This is SO WRONG !!! If the students thought they were going to teach the teachers a lesson, the reality is that the students broke and are now busted big time. They are ruined. Very stupid thing to do. Pot brownies can be overwhelming even for an experienced user. Using pot as a weapon like this is a travesty to all responsible users. The mistake of their life. 65 people's lives were endangered.

I certainly agree that it was wrong, and would not encourage anyone to do such a stupid thing. Causing another being to unknowingly ingest anything is wrong, I was only speculating as to this 'model' students motives.

As to how life threating is was, you have to wonder. Unless the cannabis was processed into a fine powder, how much do you think you could put into a cake without it being noticable and be enough to physical harm someone? Anything as large a caraway seed would become easily discernable(it would have a different texture, and taste than a typical 'cake').

And yes, this young, dumb, 19 years old could very well have his life ruined over it. What do you think, should we nail him to a cross and have him suffer for the rest of his life? Let's strip him from his dignity, brand him a felon, and toss him into the heap of wasted human potential. That oughta fix his wagon. Wouldn't be the first time...

So why is it that one persons medicine is another persons 'terrorist' weapon? Does practical joke imply that young man intended to harm someone? Would this ever have occured if there was no cannabis prohibition? I don't believe this young person intented to harm anyone, although he did show a lack of good judgement.

If you have read books like Cannabis Cuisine, or Cooking With Cannabis, or recipies from Chef Ra published in High Times over the years, you know that in the finished food there is no trace of any of the vegetative matter. The plant and vegetative matter is thrown out after completing the very first step. It can be QUITE loaded since the physical presence of cannabis matter is not required in the food. It involves a simple extraction process.

The only way to know is if you know the scent, but a recipie with the right ingredients can even mask the scent. The next way to know is by taste, but even that can be masked with the right ingredients.

So if done properly there is no way to know if it is "laced" or not, especially for people who are totally unfamiliar with it.

It depends on how it is used. Used as medicine it is medicine. Used in the manner that this boy used it, is not using it medicinally. It's akin to spiking the punch bowl. Except spiking the punch bowl with alcohol, even that wears off in a couple hours. Eating cannabinoid laced cake can take 8 to 14 hours to wear off and can be extremely uncomfortable for most of those hours. It can be too much [of a good thing]. Think of Alice in Wonderland after she eats the cake and the drumming in her head is so loud and unbearable.

I am sure he didn't mean to "harm" anyone, since he claimed it was a practical joke. But this was a practical joke that at the very least inconvenienced, confused and angered a bunch of people for at least two days. Some of them may be reminded with after effects for a week or two before it finally exits their system. I wouldn't want him to be in charge of administering or prescribing drugs for people who need to treat disease.

Practical jokes are things like putting grease on a door knob.

Secretly dosing people with substances is simply unjust.
