The student told police she was given a "gummy bear" by a 13-year-old classmate that would "stop her from stressing out," authorities said.
The victim was taken to the hospital where the "gummy bear" was determined to be a marijuana edible.
Police say the edibles were given out to other students during school hours.

The 13-year-old student who gave the edibles out will be charged on a juvenile petition in family court.
