Israeli Father Accused of Giving Cannabis Edibles to Children
A father of three from the Shefela region of Israel is facing charges for allegedly offering cannabis-infused cookies to minors. The indictment states that the man hosted three underage children, aged 17, 15, and 12, along with other guests at his home. During the gathering, he reportedly drizzled cannabis oil onto cookies and presented them to his guests. Two of his sons consumed the cookies, while his daughter declined.
Shortly after eating the cookies, the 15-year-old son began experiencing severe dizziness and a "feeling of flying" before falling asleep. Upon waking, his condition worsened, leading to vomiting and temporary memory loss. Due to the adverse effects, the teenager sought emergency medical attention and was examined at a hospital emergency room.
The prosecution emphasized that the father knowingly provided a dangerous drug to a minor under his care, thereby endangering the child's health. The charges include encouraging minors to use drugs.
