London, October 7 : A 15-year-old girl in Leeds, UK, was suspended from her school after she served two of her teachers cakes laced with drugs last month, and she has now been moved to a different school.
The teachers at Wortley High School suffered from dizziness and headaches after eating the hash cakes, and were taken to hospital for emergency check-ups.
Upon their examination, the doctors suggested that the teachers had probably been drugged with cannabis.
The teachers were discharged from hospital hours later, and they returned to school the following day.
No official complaint about the incident was lodged and no police action taken; consequently, no tests were carried out on the cakes.
