19 people were taken to the hospital for treatment and one kept overnight.

The Dallas County District Attorney's Office will seek to enhance charges against the teens from third-degree felonies to second-degree felonies because of the use of a controlled substance. The stiffer charges carry a maximum punishment of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.Click here for the full story

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

Doesn't the FBI have some real terrorists to chase?
When an FBI terrorism investigation is launched because a kid put some pot in the muffins, something has gone wrong.

I agree. These kids should have to pay a very steep price, but I think that price should fall short of a felony. It's not hard to make a kid wish he had never even conceived his misguided schemes. I know...from a personal experience.[^]
I hope the Courts throw two books at the moron.
...and let the illegals stay, hugh.?.?[;)]
If that moron doped up my wife who is a teacher, they would have to restrain me. I don't care if he was a minor ( under 18) I would beat his butt till the cows come home. They could try him as an adult. I would gladly pay the assault charge.
That can sometimes be the best medicine...
people can have terrible reactions to even marijuana. its no joke and if some kids did that to me i would break their legs.

But an FBI terrorism investigation?
Give me a break.
Maybe this is why the FBI failed to stop 9-11. They were too busy chasing high school kids with marijuana brownies.
The crime doesn't fit the punishment.
1 year max.
FBI twisting it into some kind of terrorism plot......RIDICULOUS!!!
Just goes to show the mentality of the JBT's.
A Felony?!?! Come on!
FWIW, hearing a person was "DRUGGED" and then finding out pot was the "drug" of choice is almost laughable. Yes I kow pot is a drug, but c'mon, it's not like the kid used acid, heroine, or even "laced" pot.
As for the possibility of an adverse "food reaction" type incident....anybody ever hear about X-Lax in chocolate, Visine in a cocktail, other "practical jokes"? I tend to believe this is a case of a practical joke gone awry and I DO take it seriously but, let's apply some common sense, okay?
F.B.I. involvement? Yeah, well...................
Felony. . .period.
There is a difference between asking for 20 years and actually getting it.
Whatever stupidity, mitigating factors, or lack (or presence) of prior record can be considered by the jury and judge at the time of sentencing, if things come to that.
I am almost of the feeling that practically speaking, pot brownies are an urban myth. I'm talking about something that might actually be confused with a real brownie that also has the ability to get you stoned.
How much weed do you have to eat to get stoned? I would think a lot.. maybe ounces ? How can you get that much pot into a single, or even a batch of brownies and still have them looking like brownies or anything resembling brownies?
I got a question here for the experts. I have never eaten "pot brownies" "hash brownies" etc. and from my basic understanding of marijuanna and its capabilities, I just don't get it.

I will reply as an expert in this field. Of course, I acquired this expertise in my youth, and would no way, as a mature adult, engage in such activity.
Pot brownies are no urban myth, they are for real.
Back in the seventies, you could put a quarter or maybe a half ounce of pot in the blender, grind it into dust, mix it into a batch of Betty Crocker brownie mix.
It looked and tasted fine. It was a little gritty, but not too bad. If you didn't know better, you could eat a pot brownie and not know it had anything in it, it just tasted a little more dry than normal. I don't know, you could throw an extra egg and some flour in there, you could not tell the difference.
So let us say you had a batch of twelve brownies. If you ate one, you would get high as hell for five or six hours.
Problem is, you get the munchies. When you have the munchies, brownies taste great. So you eat a couple more brownies. You will get a lot higher than you wanted, it can last for ten hours or more. You would be an incoherent, babbling fool.
If you can constrain yourself to only eat one brownie, it is pretty nice.
A lot of the pot today is stronger than that Jamaican that was coming in in the seventies.
If a person did not want to get high in the first place, or maybe had never taken pot, and someone fed them this against their will, it could be a very unpleasant experience. If a person unwittingly ate one pot brownie, they might enjoy it.
If they ate two or three, I could see them winding up in the ER for a while.
You wouldn't really get any permanent damage but it is a very bad joke.
That is why I say the punk who forces an innocent person on to a pot brownie high deserves a felony prosecution.
allen griggs said, "You would be an incoherent, babbling fool."
I've smoked Thai stick, as well as hash and some of the best pot from various parts of the world (Hawaiian and Jamaican is near the top of that list!*LOL*) and LOTS OF IT! I got stoned, REALLY stoned in my wilder days and I NEVER became or witnessed anybody become a "babbling fool" after smoking pot, hash, or even pot laced WITH hash oil!(Read: You may consider me a babbling fool, but it's not from all the pot I smoked 25 yrs ago!*LOL*)
Now, if you're talking about pot laced with PCP that's another story! PCP-laced pot would definitely strip yer screws (from what I've seen)and any fool who uses that shiite, much subjects someone else to it, deserves to be drawn and quartered!
As for pot (or hash) in brownies, it's best to make the brownies from scratch, substituting finely ground pot for flour, by volume. It takes longer for the THC to take effect when ingested, as opposed to smoking and is ultimately not as "economical/effective". Stoned for 5-6 hrs from 1 (one) brownie?! MY *!
In short, Griggs, I disagree with you. Maybe for some unknown reason(s) we had vastly different experiences with THC-carrying plants and their derivatives.
In the end, it matters not. What the kid(s) did was/is WRONG and should be punished, harshly.
In my recent studies of addictions and recreational drug use in college I learned that the expectations of the user have a profound influence on the results. Often the ritual that accompanies the use is just as important to the result as the actual potency of the drug.
There have been several studies where persons who believed they had consumed alcohol behaved as if they were drunk, when in fact there was only a very small trace amount in each drink to give it the appropriate smell.
As for ingestion of THC being less effective or economical, a professor who was a stoner in the '60's specifically stated that the opposite was true, ingestion delivers more of the THC to the blood stream than smoking.
You can only smoke so much, and then you just lay back in the chair and don't feel like picking that pipe up.
To get a massive overdose on brownies, you simply eat three or [God forbid] four of them. You can do that before you have even gotten high, it takes a long time for the effects to hit you when you eat the stuff.
Most certainly I have known the high to last 6 hours from a single brownie, and unfortunately I have known it to last for a dozen hours on 3 brownies. A person that high would be incapacitated.
If you say it isn't so, it is because you haven't been there and you haven't done that.
Or, maybe the stuff you had wasn't as strong as the stuff we were getting in Georgia.
Although I didn't know it at the time, I am not surprised to hear that more of the thc is delivered by eating than by smoking.
the only reconciliation I can imagine to explain our differing experiences is that maybe I WAS REALLY STONED (moreso than I might be ABLE to admit)*LOL*
I must admit, pot brownies WERE NOT a regular thing for me (smoking was!), could be we smoked so much before/during/after, that the effects of a brownie (or even two) were just "not noticed"? I dunno, kinda weird.
If ingestion truly is MORE economical that smoking (and I'm willing to admit I may be wrong) that is new to me. Could it be we didn't put enough (Approx 1/2 ounce for a 12"x9" baking pan) weed in the brownies?
I HIGHLY doubt the quality of the weed caused the discrepancy, that was pretty good shiite*LOL*
My own personal experience might be incidental to the debate on the potency of pot brownies, however it just seems to me that eating pot is a very inefficient method of getting stoned.
