Eighty-seven primary school students in South Africa have been released from the hospital one day after consuming cannabis-laced biscuits, colloquially known as “space cookies.”
According to provincial education authorities, three students from Pulamadibogo Primary School in Soshanguve, located northwest of the capital, Pretoria, are still under medical care.
All of the affected students had reported nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting after consuming the snacks purchased from a street vendor near the school.
The potential legal consequences for the vendor remain unclear at this time.
