The 13-year-old students got in trouble after they made marijuana-spiked cookie dough in their class at Edward Stone Middle School on Tuesday and then attempted to bake with it on Wednesday.

Klein said. “If you’re able to head it off right now, hopefully they won’t continue this type of behavior when they reach age 18 and then there’s little we can do to help, so we’re hoping that we can continue to educate at this age and then these problems won’t continue.” Advertisement The cookie dough was never baked or eaten.
