A couple of University of Colorado Boulder students decided to celebrate "Bring Food Friday" by bringing weed brownies to class and sharing them with everyone, including the professor. The duo ended up getting arrested, because everyone who ate the brownies started tweaking to the point of hospitalization.

Police and paramedics were called when the professor complained about dizziness and losing consciousness. Two students had to be taken to the hospital: one had an anxiety attack, and another felt like she was going to "black out."

21-year-old Thomas Ricardo Cunningham and 19-year-old Mary Elizabeth Essa were charged with multiple felonies, including assault in the second degree and inducing consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means. Amendment 64 may have legalized marijuana in the state of Colorado, but it certainly doesn't excuse practical jokes gone horribly wrong.
