A funeral ended on a high after mourners were accidentally served with weed cake.
Police in Germany said 13 people – including the widow – experienced nausea and dizziness and needed medical treatment after the burial in Wiethagen.
According to the authorities, one woman had to be taken to hospital, whilst others sought medical treatment later in the day. An investigation revealed that the restaurant employee in charge of the cakes had asked her 18-year-old daughter to bake them.
The teenager did bake the cakes – but also baked a separate batch laced with cannabis.
The employee then accidentally took the hash cake to the wake.
The teenager is now under investigation and faces 13 charges of negligence and bodily injury, as well as disturbing a funeral and violating German drug laws.
The accidental hash eating happened in August but wasn’t shared with the public out of respect for those mourning.
Something similar happened in March, when weed brownies were accidentally served at a senior citizen’s lunch in Whitestone, Ont., a small community 40 km northeast of Parry Sound.
