DETROIT (AP) -- A high school trip to the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio was cut short for 200 students when one of them became ill after eating a brownie laced with marijuana, a district official said Thursday.

The annual trip for West Bloomfield High physics students was cut short Wednesday when the student complained of sickness and was taken to a medical facility at the park in Sandusky, Ohio, said Joey Spano of the West Bloomfield School District.

The boy then admitted to having eaten a pot brownie.

While administrators believe there were only a few students involved, they decided it was best to bring everyone home early, said Spano, the district's director of community relations and education.

"We're saddened that some students acted inappropriately, and we'll deal with it according to our school policy," Spano said.

School administrators were interviewing students and conducting an investigation, she said, adding the police liaison officer probably would be involved.

West Bloomfield Township police said they didn't have a report on the issue, which first was reported by WDIV-TV in Detroit.

A message seeking comment was left Thursday with Cedar Point officials.

The high school is located in the Oakland County township, which is located about 25 miles northwest of Detroit.

what would be wrong with big attractions in mich to draw bussiness here.couldn't hurt.what about cheaper products in mich to get people to shop here?so many go to cedar point.not just school trips but many.I do believe that was a point by someone.what kid was responsible?or the parent of,it was wrong.where did the pot come from?mich.sounds right.what did they want cedar point to say?seeking comment?confuseing.if more things were in mich to visit and more exciting things to do,more could have part time seasonal work.taxes would be collected.all taxes add up.since mich keeps running short in budgets and funds get cut.like drug fighting money.we need jobs and many things.we can't buy or do things in mich when lack of or to much prices hurt us.maybe ages of people should be asked for on comments,we'd understand why they say what they do.useing a question mark at the end of a sentance,does not always mean a question.means no,or yes.english.new meaning all the time.talk to teens lately.

Sue, Cedar Point is a common destination for field trips in all states surrounding Ohio for YEARS. It is a cheap place to go that usually most students are interested in going to. I don't think stopping field trips from leaving Michigan is going to make our state turn around, nor will it even make a small dent. Also, did you read the story? It was the students who made the brownies. It wasn't a Cedar Point employee or someone from the outside, so how are they to blame?

Obviously we are not teaching the kids enough. I think that that lack of time parents spend interacting with their children is starting to show. Just because they become teenagers doesn't mean as parents we should not stay involved. This is when they should be adament about being involved in their childrens lives.

how stupid some one would give brownies to kids with pot.but this should be traceable,and charges should be done.jenn says do things in mich,buy in mich.look where the school trip was to.another state.sad we don't have things like cedar poit in mich.maybe people would come here to enjoy.ohio gets mich money from school trip.but so many things are bought out of state,due to our high prices.so there goes money needed in mich.a new budget will say we are short again.must cut this or that.companies do not want to come to mich with our government budgets problems,afaird taxes on them will be raised due to mich shortages of money.the government of mich:the ones that cut their own throats,which hurt the people.how proud we are of that?guess all that drug fighting money we no longer have is paying off for the drug users.must mean pot is still going around in large amounts.and how many other drugs?what a way to hurt kids,not what they expected.ruined a trip.was cedar point responsible?

What the heck are we teaching our kids?? What a way to ruin, what was suppose to be something fun. Whoever made those brownies, needs to be punished! With some type of Drug charge hopefully!
