New York Mom Claims Weed Brownie Left Her Daughter Paralyzed

KTLA – A Brooklyn mother claimed her teenage daughter was partially paralyzed after unknowingly buying a brownie laced with pot from another high school student, KTLA sister station WPIX reported Tuesday. “She ate part of the brownie, shared it with two other students and got sick,” Allison Buchanan said of the Feb. 27 incident. “Around 11 a.m. the school called me. They said she had high blood pressure and her heart was racing and they were taking her to the emergency room.” Buchanan’s daughter, Danieel, was later released from the hospital. But upon arriving home, her mother said her daughter was unable to walk by herself and couldn’t eat or drink. Buchanan then took her to another area hospital. The 17-year-old has been hospitalized ever since. According to the distraught mother, Danieel is partially paralyzed. “She’s not able to walk. She can’t stand. She can’t sit up …They have never seen anything like this before,” Buchanan told the New York City-area television station. According to Buchanan, Danieel had no preexisting conditions and had no prior involvement with drugs or alcohol. Medical tests showed that the only substance in her system at the time was marijuana, WPIX reported. Doctors are still baffled as to whether Danieel had an allergic reaction to the drug, or if it was something else that caused the partial paralysis. According to Dr. Richard Francis, a psychiatrist at NYU Medical, it is also possibly the brownie Danieel ate was laced with synthetic pot, PCP or something else. “When they adjust something like a brownie, they don’t know for sure what’s in it,” he told WPIX. The 18-year-old Benjamin Banneker High School student accused of selling the brownie has been suspended, according to the station. The incident is being investigated by the New York Police Department.

Listen being paralyzed definitely sucks, and I’m no expert on marijuana, but I’m almost positive weed brownies dont paralyze you for life. Can most certainly paralyze you temporarily. First time I had weed brownies I did the classic rookie mistake of “This isnt working! Give me another one!” About 4 hours later I think my skin had actually merged into the leather furniture. Me trying to get off the couch looked like Frank Reynolds at the Christmas Party:

Same thing when I did a gravity bong for the first time. There was a moment where I thought to myself, what if this never wears off and I cant walk ever again? But of course, it did wear off, because thats how weed works, and I regained mobility. So I dont know what caused this chick to be paralyzed but lets not say that a weed brownie did it. Because thats just not what happens. Now PCP and angel dust and all that shit, I dunno. My only experience with that was when Denzel said “I didnt know you liked to get wet.” And neither he nor Ethan Hawke got paralyzed so I’m just gonna assume those drugs dont do that either.

Wacky story for sure. Medical mystery, no doubt. But it wasnt the weed brownie. Stop slandering weed brownies.
