Deputies: Putnam elementary students fall ill after eating gummies with possible substance

PCSO says it appears the three children ingested CBD or THC gummies, however, detectives are still investigating the circumstances of the incident.

INTERLACHEN, Fla. — Rescue personnel responded to Jenkins Elementary School in Interlachen Thursday after a child became sick and exhibited signs of an overdose, according to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies say two more students also became ill. 

PCSO says it appears the children ingested CBD or THC gummies, however, detectives are still investigating the circumstances of the incident.

PCSO says with the prevalence of marijuana cards and availability of CBD over-the-counter, it wants to stress the importance of parents and families in keeping these items away from children and preventing them from being easily accessible.
