Woman Took Home Chemically Infused Gummies Since Monday; Diabetic Husband Hospitalized
Another grandparent gave the media an interview just after four p.m. outside the K.H.M.H. She revealed that she took home several packets of the marijuana-infused gummies since yesterday. She informed us that she received the gummies from a friend with the understanding that they were snacks for children. She says, her diabetic husband ate the contents from one of the packets and collapsed on Faber’s Road while on his way to work today. Two of her grandchildren are hospitalized along with him.
