A monthly community lunch for a group of Ontario seniors took a strange turn this week after many attendees got sick from consuming cannabis-laced brownies, provincial police said Thursday.
Const. Miles Loach said the seniors began seeking medical help within less than an hour of eating chocolate brownies served as a dessert option at the catered gathering at the community centre in Whitestone, Ont., about half an hour east of Parry Sound, Ont.
Loach said police received a call shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday after the flurry of arrivals at the local health centre. Puzzled by the spike in people reporting similar symptoms, Loach said investigators began asking questions about the day's activities. It wasn't long before a pattern emerged. Loach said the dessert was one of the offerings served at the gathering, which typically functions as a social opportunity for the community's elderly residents.
