Eight students at George Washington Carver Middle School in South Los Angeles became ill today after sharing a chocolate bar, possibly containing an ingredient that elevated their blood pressure and heart rates, officials said.
Paramedics went to the school. at 4410 S. McKinley Ave. at 8:40 a.m. and took the students to a hospital for evaluation, and they were listed in good condition, said Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Early paramedic reports had indicated that marijuana brownies might have been involved, Scott said.
Later, Monica Carazo at the Los Angeles Unified School District said the students apparently ate "chocolate with some sort of drug" but it was unknown if it was marijuana. The kids, ages 11 to 13, had elevated heart rates and blood pressure, and upset stomachs, Carazo said.
The school is a charter school run by the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools campus, which is managed in cooperation with the LAUSD, said Patrick Sinclair, of the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools organization.
Sinclair said a student told authorities that the chocolate had been bought at a "skate store," and had been shared with the other students. Authorities were trying to determine the ingredients in the chocolate, Sinclair said.
The student who brought the chocolate to school "purposely bought it at a a store and he knew what he bought," said principal Luz Catto to ABC7.
"I want to make sure parents know the children did not get sick because of anything they ate at our school cafeteria," she added.

I was just reading about this on another site. Someone on that site commented that it was probably mushroom chocolate because when you eat mushrooms you get food poisoning and their symptoms are similar to food poisoning .

That makes no sense at all. That's how rumors get started.
Speaking of rumors, there are reports the chocolate was from tainted candies passed out by Sheriff Lee Baca to frame pot smokers.

I would believe that one!
That comment you quoted was not from me, it was from someone commenting on the article on another site (CNN) and I was implying that it was a stupid comment (hence the facepalm).
Just to clarify, psychedelic mushrooms do NOT cause food poisoning!

Yeah, my first thought was "i bet it was with mushrooms"
About the food poisoning talk: Stomach ache, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, and general sick/flu like symptoms can happen after eating psilocybin mushrooms and I think that is how it can be mistaken for food poisoning.
In addition you can have a feeling of anxiousness with lack of ability to focus/relax and combining all these symptoms can easily lead to panic/fear, which is why I don't like them. I love mushrooms like crazy, but I'm not a fan of the actives.
 "My name is Sheriff Baca and I will poison your kids and blame it on the pot smokers."
Congrats to all the pot smokers that voted "no" on Prop 19, I hope you get caught smoking or driving with cannabis and get it taken away and given a fine and a citation on your criminal record. Congrats on being drug tested for jobs and getting jail/prison time for getting caught growing. Congrats for supporting the undercover-officers/DEA/Cops/Sheriffs/Drug-dealers/Drug-cartels and the high prices and for continuing to be a criminal by breaking the law to possess/consume cannabis. Also, congrats on going to jail for possession before January 1st when Governor Arnold S.'s new law goes into place, until then, I wish you an early Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to those who will be in court/jail/prison for cannabis.

Most of my mushroom guidebooks indicate psilocybin mushrooms as "poisonous" because most people aren't looking for a trip. They're not toxic to your body but they certainly can be to your mind, if you're not prepared for them.

I dunno, mushrooms have messed my stomach up pretty bad before. But poisonous? clearly they're not.
Keep in mind this story is about 12 year olds that have no reason to be taking drugs let alone something that fucks you up as bad as mushrooms do. And kids + drugs equals crazy over-reactive parents.
So who really knows, its possible that because this involves minors we'll never find out for sure. I am pretty sure of of one thing tho: nowhere sells mushrooms over the counter in a retail setting and definitely not to kids.

All those kids obviously knew what was in the chocolate, because eight kids don't normally share one chocolate bar. They just are lying so they won't get in trouble.

I saw a news report on this since its near my area (fox news), and in bold, underneath the video from where the incident took place: CANDY BARS LACED WITH MARIJUANA????
There was absolutely no evidence to point to the presence of marijuana.
