From this morning’s Oregonian:

When workers at a Stayton wood plant complained of feeling dizzy and lightheaded Tuesday, investigators first tested the air and water. They weren’t thinking holiday treats were to blame.

But after interviewing employees, Stayton police announced Thursday that drugged cookies left in a break room at the Weyerhaeuser Co. site probably were responsible for sending 15 workers to the hospital.

“After further investigation, they believe the homemade cookies were tainted with a foreign substance,” said a company spokesman, Greg Miller. “They suspect that foreign substance was marijuana.”

It happens more often than you think. In April 2005, we reported about a case of pot-laced Tollhouse cookies at the Oregon Clinic, which sent 11 people to the emergency room. (I know, right? The emergency room for pot? Rookies.)

On a related note, Amy Jenniges just brought in a whole bowlful of homemade cookies. I ate two. Someone get the number for 911 handy, because I might be stoned.
