BREAKING At least 10 students treated for possible cannabis overdose at Van Nuys Middle School, officials say

At least five people were being treated following what officials called a medical emergency at Van Nuys Middle School Thursday morning.At least 10 students at Van Nuys Middle School were treated in what officials called a medical emergency after they possibly ingested some sort of cannabis product, authorities said Thursday.

Authorities received an initial call of possible overdoses at the school around 10:30 a.m. Those being treated are between the ages of 12 and 14, and are only experiencing mild to moderate symptoms, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department"This is not any sort of fentanyl-affiliated overdose. We want to make sure everybody knows that," said the department's Erik Scott.

Officials could not say exactly what the students ingested, but said it was possible some sort of marijuana. The LAFD initially expected about four patients but that number quickly increased. Officials say some students may have ran and hid in classrooms when emergency crews arrived at the scene.Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.

I’m just picturing this happening… lol

Good thing it was cannabis and not alcohol.

Cannabis overdose?

Who brought the brownies

You CAN'T OVERDOSE on Cannabis. They got to high for their own liking. Don't start a war on Cannabis.

Did you mean fentanyl?

Hope they had snacks on hand for those kids .

Give them all black pepper to chew on and call it a lesson. Por favor. Overdose is not the same as low tolerance. Por Dios

This is called a panic attack lmfao

What how much cannabis do you need to overdose

Reminds me of, well, when I was in middle school. Fun times.

Edibles were probably laced with something else, similar happened when I was in high-school they tried blaming the weed but when they found the remaining edible and tested it it had traces of some laboratory crap

literally impossible, this is propaganda plain and simple. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS FALSE HEADLINE

What is a cannabis overdose. It doesn’t exist 🤦‍♂️

They got high and panicked. Happens all the time

I don't understand this, unless it was laced with something else. One can't OD on cannabis.

Hey you want play you got to pay

BarryOnHere

I have yet to know anyone who overdoses on cannabis. And I overdosed on Crack back in 1993

Fkn lightweights take some cbd and reverse that shit. Rookies! Lol

Bro I worked I've been working in cannabis for a year now...manufacturing and selling weed at my shop in hollywood....it's scientifically impossible to od on weed....probably got too high on edibles

Wow great 🤨

Can't overdose on cannabis.... LMAO they got a hold to that gas LMAO

And they want them to be able to vote? Wake up America

F-in snow flakes!!

So they went from nah, not hungry... to OMG, I'm starving to death!!!

Your too early to April Fools Day!

oh no

Funny how they interview a lady and she blames the school Education starts at home

My only concern is why didn't the parents know what was going on and why didn't they do something

“Cannabis overdose” Are we fr still spreading misinformation about Marijuana in 2022 Any medical professional could tell you a “cannabis overdose” is impossible

Kids either can't hang these days or that wasn't Weed.

They need some chocolate milk

Wow there is no such thing. You just go to sleep. Wtf

Wtf! Overdose?! Lol they just had fucked up edible or wax trips…they’re good for you! 🫠

They need some milk, they’ll be fine.

That Christmas Chronic... Puff puff pass!!!💨💨💨

Rookies with Cookies.

Guarantee it was laced with something. You'd have to ingest/smoke far more than any person is capable of to 'overdose'.

More like too high and freaked out

You can’t overdose on weed

1. You can't overdose on weed. 2. Stop it.

Oh god, so they got super high and freaked out. Jesus, what a bunch of amateurs. Grow a pair. Stop trying shit if you’re a big giant p*ssy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

They were Treated for weed overdose? What did they do give them snacks, soda, Netflix and a blanket?

How do you overdose on weed? 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely no one overdosing.

They won’t die, they just feel like they are. Lesson learned!

But I thought it's completely safe...? 😞

Bullshit no such thing as cannabis overdose.

i wonder if the cannabis was laced with marijuana..

What the hell is a cannabis overdose? Just get them some greasy food and put them in bed... quit trying to make your headlines seem worse than it is...

There is not such thing as a cannabis overdose. They were on something else

No es sobredosis😂 alomejor les pegó la pálida hahahaha😂

What treatment was administered? Domino’s and Ben n Jerry’s?

Stop with your ridiculous, uneducated, and mildly hilarious propaganda. There has not been a single record of a person dying or overdosing from marijuana. You just fall asleep, and possibly have an unpleasant experience.

Cannabis overdose?

Irresponsible headline

Cannabis what?

Treated with what, pizza and video games?

Oh please this is ridiculous you can’t OD on weed

Once I 'overdosed' on marijuana and thought I was dying but I didn't because no one ever dies on marijuana. Moral, don't go to the hospital. You're perfectly fine. Just so happy it's too much to handle.

Cannabis overdose? Oh you mean throwing up, and not waking up like 6 hours later... Y'all really something else 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this thread is 💀😂

This shit too funny 😂😂

Ban all drugs and make schools a drug free zone. How many more kids have to endure a mass overdose before we act? It's not the people, it's the drugs...

you can't overdose on cannabis. What a shit headline.

This definitely didn’t happen. Stop being stenographers for cops.

You can't OD on cannabis. They're just really REALLY high.

Paramedic: Sir we are bringing in 5 patients for a possible marijuana overdose. Doctor: *laughs Wait you're serious Nurse I need 48 mozzarella sticks, four bags of tostitos chips and 1,000 cc's of nacho cheese dip now!!!!!!

Cannabis exposure is the leading cause of bullshit in the US media.

Stop it, no such thing as overdosing with cannabis. People really have to educate themselves. That kids under 21 were using it? Yes, that part is wrong.

This is a terrible headline. The article says they felt mild to moderate symptoms. The headline should be, “Some kids got high.”

😂😂😂😂😂

A lower dose that’s all. That plants been around for ages it’s organic they just got too high!

That stain had to be mixed cannibus well weed does not cause overdose you may be extremely high even hungry but that’s it

Cannot believe this. Clabel_ we need to up our game of preventing this unbelievable act of premarital marijuana overdosing, this statistic has just skyrocketed by 4,723%. Such a shame. 😔

You'll love to lie

You can’t overdose - you can make yourself sick and pass out - you’ll be stoned for a day or two but you won’t die you ninnies! CBD can help reduce those effects but it takes longer to metabolize. Remember your stoned and this too shall pass

There's literally no such thing as a cannabis 'overdose'. Trust me; I've tried.

Lol ok nerds

Who is this for?

I remember my first edible lmaoo rookies 🤣

Man made alcohol-God made weed.....IN GOD WE TRUST!!

Sounds like a lie

it's Van Nuys what do people expect

They were treated with Taco Bell and a rewatch of The Doors: Live at The Fillmore.

Sorry, as a person that almost Overdosed on coke, I'm a bit offended by the implication that these kids were ever in any danger with harmless chronic..

'news'

Aren't we so glad we legalized pot! SO PROGRESSIVE.

1000MG edible will do that to you trust me

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That’s sad! I pray they are ok.

I’m sure there’s some greasy old tacos in the lunch room that could help.

Lmao, im sure the kids said weed to cover up what they really took. And if it was weed, theyll be perfectly fine. Karens can quit acting as if they took heroin

How do you overdose on marijuana… I think they meant edibles… But really honestly who’s the blame here whatever they overdosed on or that individual because common sense would tell you, then, again, common sense is not to common nowadays 🤦🏽‍♂️

Overdose? It's called la pálida.

Show us where one person has ever OD on just weed. Do better

What, they gave 'em a blanket and a brownie?

TLDR; middle schoolers took edibles and had panic attacks

Lol

Ummm.. treated with what?... a nap?

Irresponsible and stupid headline and article! No one has ever od'd on marijuana! Y'all are just ridiculous!

Little bodies should not smoke weed! I hope it wasn’t laced! Water and food. Lots of water and food! I also found layin on the ground makes the world not spin

You can't overdose from cannabis 😂😂😂

Never heard of anyone overdosing on cannabis

🥜Oh no, did they inject the marijuana? 🍔🌮🍩

They probably had those edibles that cancer patients take. Those can make you throw up violently if you don't have the tolerance - it's just a lot of THC at once. I've had grown men that don't smoke tell me they were puking for several hours and had the worst time of their lives.

Probably laced

Is it 5 or 10? You high?

Placed the school on lockdown Geezus!

OMG! Ten? A school shooting? Oh? No? I see They might have eaten some weed! Now we’re gonna do something about that.

C’mon ! Just stop it!!

Overdose?

Treated how? A hug and a hand to hold until they return to earth?

Lol well that’s a misleading headline. You can’t overdose on cannabis. Worst case scenario someone gets the spins and throws up

Who they plug? Tap in

More like 10 teens got high as fvck

You can't OD because you'd have already passed the fuck out feeling like your a marble in a pool game long before. They probably kept eating edibles thinking it wasn't working and got slammed when it hit because they take a couple hours sometimes to kick in; unlike vaping it.

NO 1 ONE has EVER overdosed (much less died) from Marijuana, not even CBD oil. Somebody laced it or rich white kids can't handle their drugs.

Someone needs to watch some katt Williams lol

Lmfao never in the history of smoking weed has anyone overdosed they just got really really high.

Cannabis overdose? Ummm, that doesn't happen.

You can't od on pot wtf

Overdose 💀🤔

Lmao!!!! That was not cannabis they was lied to 😂😂

Doubt they are overdoses More likely they're all having really bad trips and are fucking high out of their minds The question is who the fuck gave middle schoolers weed?

“Duuude!”

'Cannabis overdose?' 🤣🤣🤣 10,000 pizzas delivered to school?

They have made cannabis as accessible as alcohol & now we're seeing the results.

Idiots

Just give them a bag of Doritos a large pizza and a gallon of water promise you they will pass out and be fine in a couple hours

Way to go CA making it legal has worked awesome!!

Even the ghetto soft now. Next gen can't even handle weed smh

Why are you like this?

BarryOnHere

Ten students? That number of students seems high

Middle school!?! Geez.

If you’re taking edibles at school, you’re gonna have a bad time. Fake sick and do it at home where the snacks are

Ahhh edibles. They probably thought they were dying which is why I don’t often eat edibles

Slow news day?

One marijuana will ruin your life. I once sold my cousin for 2 Marijuanas. Haven't seen him since but I do get his prison letters.

So dramatic. You can't overdose on cannabis. It's probably just a bad high.

Really 🤣🤣🤣

Lol.

You cannot overdose on cannabis, dude.

The cure for an 'overdose' on weed is some cartoons and a bowl of kids cereal.

There is no such thing

Cannabis overdose? Grow up

Call dominos! Stat!

Lol 😂 cannabis overdose

Let me guess they all have curly hair and bell bottom jeans

Lol

This is just awful.

Smh

Five years ago it was an epidemic if flavored vape in the middle schools. No they’re on to weed brownies. Next stop 7th grade coke heads.

🧢

Where y’all getting this weed lol

True you cannot OD on cannabis. BUT taking more edible THC than you are comfortable with can truly suck, especially if you arent experienced. Dont minimize their experience.

Since when is not having any snacks a medical emergency?

This is the best thread I've read all day! Thanks; my sense of humor has returned.

I hope they all will be okay!

You can’t od

Overdose? Treat Cannabis? 😂😂😂 man. 😂😂

It's pretty difficult to OD on cannabis. Very, very difficult. The only way I can think of is if they ate too many edibles. No way you could OD on it by smoking it. Highly suspect story.

BREAKING Willie Nelson has been dead for 40 years.

Too much edibles can be a bad time.

*impossible cannabis overdose

Clown world

You can’t over dose from week lmfaoooo

kaebroyles the replies 😂😂

Probably they got some edibles.

They must’ve been high af

Note this is about 2 barrels in 15 minutes the barely are the same barrels they use for rum

Just because the snozberries taste like snozberries doesn’t mean you OD’ed.

What we’re they doing eating everything and walking slow..but in real wtf..how much weed did they have for 10 people to “overdose” 😂

The plug currently.

Everyone here mad because they used the word overdose. Obviously if you’re having a bad trip, you OVERDOSED. No one wants a bad trip.

Lomelimariaaa 😂😂😂🤐

There's no such thing as a cannabis overdose. Excessive maybe, but dangerous? I sincerely doubt their lives were in any danger whatsoever.

Lol…unless it was laced, they will be fine.

Went too hard with the edibles .

You can't OD on cannabis. You can but you have to injest more than is possible. They are just super high.

Ummmmmmm there’s no such thing as a cannabis od, guys.

Probably ate the parents gummies

Not surprised and keep voting Democrat

1 billion Americans die of marijuana overdose every day

Honestly a wording worthy of Reefer Madness. Irresponsible fearmongering.

Get them some doritos and caffeine-free soda.

Literally impossible, abc7eric. “officials called a medical emergency after they possibly ingested some sort of cannabis product, authorities said Thursday.” Really? Possibly + (Some sort of) = sensationalist garbage. Hey RyanMarino if you feel up to schooling this kid

100% guarantee it WAS NOT an overdose that’s a flat out lie…. Bad words by this snitch ass station….

You can't overdose on cannabis. tv'news' remains stupid and inflammatory. Do better.

Soft ass kids

Sorry, I seem to be having trouble reading the article in all this orange light.

I want to know how they reacted 😂🤭

how much cannabis did they eat, ffs? 🤣

Hey news source. Learn news. There is no such thing.

BarryOnHere

The marijuana of today is much stronger should’ve never been legalized while one thinks it’s not a bad drug. It is a drug nevertheless, plus now the cartels in Mendocino taking over all the farms they don’t even have to transport it over the border anymore.

I'll have what they had

Stop spreading lies about cannabis with this leading story. These kids will be completely fine. Stop spreading cop propaganda.

Cannabis overdose 🤣🤣🤣

What the hell is a cannabis overdose lol. You'd have to eat thousands and thousands of milligrams (boxes of gummies). This is bs.

Now all sudden weed overdoses? Please knock it off

So they just got hungry and feel asleep

Is it really an “overdose” if you can cure it with Doritos?

This whole post of bullshit! Can’t fuckin over dose on cannabis

They won’t over dose but , I’ve done a lot of psychedelics and my worst trip by far was taking too much edibles. They are learning a valuable lesson lol

How’d they treat them? Snacks and a fat nap?

Hahaha Cannabis Overdose? Yeah okay 🤣

Really? Ffs Delete your account

Cannabis overdose, or was the cannabis laced with something?

Edibles!! Had everyone thinking it was fentanyl with all these damn headlines.. sheesh

100% laced

Edibles are a bitch, go slow. 😂🤦🏽

WHAT?😟😳 10 STUDENTS TREATED FOR POSSIBLE CannabisOverdose? 🙏🙏🙏 VanNuysMiddleSchool

They didn’t overdose, they greened-out, get your facts straight

This is not possible. Treated for freaking out cuz they hear their hair growing yes.

BarryOnHere

No way you can overdose on weed man, they just need some good snacks, a funny movie, and a nap.

You can't od on pot!! Trust me I know first hand!!

Pass that shit

Rofl you can’t OD on weed people trust me. Lol.

Bunch of lightweights. Jeeze

You can’t overdose on weed

me eating 1000mg gummies thinking im invincible

Fuck around and find out. They’ll be good next time.

Yep. Big Daddy government hard at work. 🤷‍♀️Keep the youth stoned and stupid. Oh....and dont forget to get a (poisonous) covid booster shot every 2 months!🤮🤦‍♀️ Time to WAKE UP PEOPLE! 😳

They gave em hot pockets n Dr Pepper, treat any overdose lol

🤣

Let’s make sure to mention it was most likely laced…

Doper State!

Triggered anxiety? Heart racing?

They probably just ate too many edibles, sleep it off kids and learn about edible milligrams, they'll be fine.

Omg their lil bodies can't handle cannabis

Sometimes you take edibles. But sometimes they take you.

Fentanyl is now lethal just by looking at it. - 🤦🏾‍♂️🙄👀💀

Treatment was slurpees and fun yuns.

Overdosing on weed? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤡

This is false... This is bullshit. Cannabis Overdose?

Overdose? Lol there’s no way

Ain't no overdosing on weed lol they're just really high and panicking. Give them some water and a bed and they'll be 💯

I think some people need to hear this. Overdose =/= death. Overdose is just taking more than the normal or recommended dose. Certain things can cause death, death isn't the only qualifier for an overdose

Bruh you can’t OD off cannabis! These 12-14 yr old just had a bad trip and didn’t know how to handle it. Stop trying to make it seem worse!

You can’t OD from weed

What is going on with these kids? Aren’t they paying attention?

The budget of LAUSD is 19.9 BILLION dollars for 430,000 students this year and 20 BILLION last year. It's a jobs program for adults that uses these kids as fuel in the furnace.

Overdose,, gtfoh Put some music on, turn the tv on to history channel, or or give them a pencil and paper. —————————— Here we go with the reefer madness BS..AGAIN.

The story: Child stole his parents THC candy and handed them out to friends. They got High AF!

Damn lol kids got the spins 💀

Overdose ? Cmon new media yall kno tht ain't possible maybe they just too high and paranoia kick in

remember: it only takes one shot of cannabis to over dose. live above the influence.

Hospital Lol only thing those kids need is some jack in the box and cartoons

Somebody want to tell them?

I'm so weak at the replies to this story 😂

Like, I'll save them man.

Overdose? How many marijuanas did they take

I’m 99% sure nobody can overdose on cannabis lmao 😭

I'll have what they're having

Joe Biden and the dems continue to let deadly marijuana flow through our borders and destroy our youth. Trump would never allow this to happen.

Me on my 4th blunt of the day, high as mf still aint feel as high as these jits

Give them a nap and some doritos. They'll be good.

nachoibarras b careful

They probably laced it with melange - check their eyes...

BarryOnHere ?

Why did I read that as cannibal overdose

You quite literally can not overdose on Marijuana. They got too high and freaked out. They'll be fine.

I've been trying to OD on cannabis forever

BarryOnHere

Just give them a pizza and bed they’ll be fine

Ain’t no weed overdose they just trippin lol

Those kids on edibles

It is technically impossible to overdose on thc. Just give them bread and water they’ll be good in a couple hours

Lol 😂 you can never have enough

What how lmao

the custodian like

Good Lord

It was probably spice

I have a lot more questions

This is great news. Ya, unfortunate the kids go into some edibles(I’m assuming). Earlier reports had me nervous for something fentanyl related. Edibles are no joke, they’ll knock your socks off

What does a cannabis overdose look like? Must’ve been spiked…seriously. Reefer madness lives…

Sounds like a 🔥 batch of edibles

I remember my first time smoking gas

Damn druggies. They are not overdose they are just high.

I overdose on cannabis daily, just eat something and take a nap.

Just say no.

Homeschool time baby.

I’ve been there when the edible becomes the hulk, all they have to do is take a cold shower and walk it off!

Why are people and now kids addicted to drugs and cannabis? Our society is f*cked up!

get a grip

These doggone kids messing stuff up 🤔🫣🤬🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♀️

They were high asf

Alright who gave the children strong ass edibles?

Stupid high on some sativa edibles. Kids can’t be taking that stuff that young under 18 Smfh

Overdose? You mean uncontrollable laughter and munchies?

When will they learn that Cannabis is just as worse as fentanyl

Those must have been some strong edibles

Cannabis overdose 😂😂😂😂 this probably them in class

Keep decriminalizing drugs CA. Stop the war on drugs CA. Tax the druglords and street pharmas CA 🤡

What's a cannabis overdose?

Should of just sent them to sleep instead of freaking everyone out and making it worse

How can this be isn't cannabis only legal for adults? How in the world could students at a middle school be impacted? Yes I am being facetious about it

Uhh.. you can’t overdose on cannabis. They are just baked out of their minds.

Possible overdose? How about you make absolutely sure before you report please

That’s happens when you get rid of School police. Student have a the freedom in school with no consequences in place. School police back in the days where allowed to cite you, and arrest you for possession. All kids do in the restroom is vape, get high and get drunk

Pot

Wow wow wow. No body’s kids are safe now. A pandemic of Fentanyl. There’s a lot of work to do in LA county and guess what? Our politicians are not in the will to do so. How many kids will die due to this pandemic? Good luck those who have kids in those schools. Not an easy thing

Wtf

Sounds wrong. Let’s wait for better details.
