TL;DR Summary

Over 60 children in Jamaica have been hospitalized after consuming cannabis-infused sweets. The primary school pupils from the St Ann's Bay area experienced symptoms such as vomiting and hallucinations, but none are in serious condition. The sweets, containing a high dose of Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), were produced by a US-based company and sold to the children by a lone vendor. The incident highlights the dangers of unregulated cannabis edibles, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
