Akron Fraternity hands out Funny Brownies

From Fox 8 Cleveland....
Laced Brownies Passed at University of Akron Last Edited: Monday, 11 Feb 2008, 7:20 PM EST Created: Monday, 11 Feb 2008, 7:20 PM EST

A University of Akron student is rushed to the hospital for eating brownies she claims were laced with marijuana.

Cealneeka Miller says she was walking through the student union last week when a group of fraternity members offered her free brownies and condoms as part of their campaign to promote "safe sex."

Miller ate one of the brownies and several hours later she began hallucinating while she was studying at the library.

After experiencing tremors and seizure-like symptoms, her friend called 911, and Miller was rushed to the hospital.

Fearing the brownies had been laced, her family requested drug tests. Miller's medical records revealed she tested positive for THC, the same chemical found in marijuana. Miller says, "I don't do drugs. I've never felt like that in my life. I felt like I was dying."

The University of Akron declined to comment, but did confirm that two other students were also hospitalized after eating the brownies.

Fox 8 News tried contacting the fraternity, but no one returned our phone calls.

This weekend, University of Akron Police confirmed this is an ongoing investigation. At this time, no charges have been filed.

What in the blazes???? Are you kidding me??? If that's true, not only should that charter get pulled, whatever guys were involved should get expelled. That's some seriously dangerous and stupid isht.

Did they say which fraternity was involved?

I never thought I'd see the day when marijuana would be given out so freely like that.

It's most likely that it was accidental. They were probably cooking up a regular batch of brownies when they realized it'd be more efficient to bake magic brownies at the same time and got them mixed up.

That is AWFUL!!! Can we get a link?

Pot brownies can get you really high......but that article seems overly sensational. Tremors and siezures????? Come on.....it's a little herb.

Seriously dangerous? No. Not really. Seriously dumb and idiotic? Yeah....very.

It is completely absurd that marijuana is not legal. If the girl went out later that week and drank a beer and smoked a cigarette, they'd both be more harmful to her.

^^Yeah maybe about the beer and cigs, but the difference is if she did/does/will drink that will be a decision that she is making saying, "Hey I want a beer," rather than "oh a free brownie then now I am in the ER."

Returning from the Hijack...

They still haven't named the fraternity at Akron, but will try to find out from a student on this board that attends the school. The fraternities listed on the website are:

Alpha Sigma Phi
Lambda Chi Alpha
Lonestar
Phi Delta Theta
Phi Gamma Delta
Phi Kappa Tau
Phi Sigma Kappa
Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Sigma Nu
Tau Kappa Epsilon
Theta Chi

How does one go to the ER after ingesting marijuana?

It's virtually impossible to OD on the stuff.

The beer is much more likely to land one in the emergency room.

I guess the cigarettes could burn you...

Is it dangerous? Probably not.

Is it stupid to drug your guests? Extremely.

I believe that if I were experiencing symptoms of being high without knowingly engaging in any illegal substances, I sure as heck would go to ER. It's not as though you're knowingly doing a drug and then going to ER because you're high. In fact, when I was painting my son's room with Killz once, I started to get really dizzy. I'd been having some other medical problems and was contemplating going to ER. I thought maybe I was just overdoing it and sat on the front porch for a bit to rest. I started to feel fine. I went back in and got up on the ladder to do the high part where the wall and ceiling meet and started getting dizzy again. That's when it clicked that I was getting high from the fumes of the Killz. But, had I not known I had been exposed to anything, I would be very scared.

That was really stupid. Why would anyone do that?

That's the link to the original story and it doesn't say which fraternity.

My point (bolded). I'm not saying she OD'd, but I can not blame her for going to the hospital when she is feeling 'strange' after eating.
