A Fulton County mother shared her daughter's frightening experience of being rushed to the emergency room after unknowingly consuming an edible while at Langston Hughes High School. This troubling incident raises significant concerns about the prevalence of marijuana edibles among students and the associated risks they pose. The mother poignantly articulated her fears, stating, "Every day that my kids go out the house I’m just praying that they return home safely," emphasizing the anxiety many parents feel regarding their children's safety. With the increasing accessibility of such substances, there is an urgent need for schools to implement educational programs that inform students about the dangers of edibles. Parents and educators are encouraged to engage in discussions about substance use and establish clear boundaries to protect students.

Additionally, this incident serves as a critical reminder for policymakers to consider regulations that could restrict minors' access to marijuana products. The community is called to action to work together in safeguarding children from the potential dangers lurking within school environments.
