MARIJUANA MUFFINS TAKE A TOLL

Nineteen employees of a Dallas high school became ill last week, and
18 of them had to be treated at a hospital after eating muffins
tainted with marijuana and possibly other substances.

The employees became sick after eating from the same batch of
muffins, which were delivered to the teachers' lounge at Lake
Highlands High School. The FBI later released surveillance photos of
a young man delivering the muffins. The man, who reportedly claimed
the delivery was part of an Eagle Scout project, is considered a
"person of interest" by the FBI.

All of the employees were treated and released, except for Rita
Greenfield, 86, a receptionist, who was held overnight for observation.

"She was extremely dizzy, and she was very nauseated," said
Greenfield's daughter, Carla Fulton.

Fulton said her mother has had quadruple-bypass surgery and takes
several heart medications. Her heart rate dropped dangerously low,
leading doctors to keep her overnight. "She was laughing, but we were
all very concerned," Fulton said.

A physician told Fulton "that it was at least in part marijuana" in
the muffins, she said.
