A news release on Thursday said tests found THC, which is the main psychoactive component in marijuana in one of the samples. It was not immediately clear whether the compromised food had been handed out in relation to a Valentine’s Day event, but school district officials had instructed students “not to eat anything given to them by another person and not to bring anything they didn’t bring form their own.”
