Jamaica's education minister says some of the 60 students suffered hallucinations.
None of the children who ate the sweets are said to be in a serious conditionMore than 60 children have been taken to hospital in Jamaica after eating sweets containing cannabis, the country's education minister said.
"The doctors & nurses are doing all they can to ensure the students recover," Ms Williams wrote on X, adding that several of the children had to be put on an intravenous drip.Ms Williams said the children were from St Ann's Bay Primary, but local news agencies have reported that students from the nearby Ocho Rios Primary School were affected. The children are thought to be between the ages of seven and 12.
The head of the St Ann police department, Senior Superintendent Dwight Powell, has urged the person or anyone with information about them to contact the authorities. Each is said to contain 100mg of the psychoactive substance Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol , which is generally considered to be a high dose for an adult.The sweets, which are not FDA-approved, were produced by a company based in the US state of California, where cannabis is legal.
