Family First Comment:“..after eating the cake, 13 people experienced nausea and dizziness and needed medical treatment.”
Investigation reveals restaurant employee’s teenage daughter baked cannabis sweet for separate occasion.
Police say a funeral in eastern Germany ended on an involuntary drug high when mourners were accidentally served hash cake.
Rostock police said on Tuesday that after the burial in Wiethagen, the funeral party had gone to a restaurant for coffee and cake, as is customary in Germany. But after eating the cake, 13 people experienced nausea and dizziness and needed medical treatment.
A police investigation revealed that the restaurant employee in charge of the cakes had asked her 18-year-old daughter to bake them.
However, the mother accidentally took the wrong cake from the freezer to the funeral. She took a hash cake that the teenager had made for a different occasion.
Police said the 18-year-old was under investigation.
The incident happened in August but was not made public earlier out of respect for the mourners.
