A Buffalo, NY public school teacher was placed on administrative leave after he accidentally gave two students THC edibles he mistook for regular candy, according to school officials.
The teacher at PS 79, the William J. Grabiarz School of Excellence, offered students marijuana-laced gummies disguised as regular Sour Patch Kids on April 1, according to a Buffalo Police report obtained by ABC 7.

One of the students, 11-year-old JaiAire Richardson, recounted the harrowing experience to ABC 7.
“I was like, the scaredest kid in the world. And like, I didn’t want to, like, take anything from no one again,” he told the outlet.

The teacher was placed on paid leave the same day as the district asserted it was taking the situation “extremely seriously.”
JaiAire’s parents are still looking to the district for answers about where the edibles came from in the first place.
“We look for our children to be protected going to school. You know, not something like this to happen is so sad, and we don’t want it to happen to no other kids,” his mother Tia Leak told the station.

Schools across the country have struggled to put a lid on the flow of edibles into the classroom.
In late March, six students at one Mississippi school were hospitalized after eating edibles handed out by a classmate.
And in Queens, a teacher nicknamed “Mr.Blunt” allegedly doled out weed to a student he was sexually abusing as a means to keep her under his control, according to a lawsuit filed in January.
