The grandmother, who has been diagnosed with cancer, had a doctor’s
recommendation for marijuana to treat her pain and to help her sleep,
Sgt. Phil Gomez said. Days before, she had baked THC oil into a batch of
cookies and tucked them away in a garage refrigerator. THC is the
active chemical in marijuana.
Murrieta police were called out to
the family’s house in the 24000 block of Cambria Lane about 10:30 a.m.
Saturday, June 30, after the toddler did not wake up despite a long
night’s sleep and the family realized he might have eaten the cookies.
An
aunt had been babysitting the boy and his younger sibling Friday while
the father was out, Gomez said. When the father returned that afternoon,
he noticed crumbs on the garage floor but assumed the child’s
grandmother had been into the cookies.
The boy was playing and
seemed fine, but he fell asleep about 5 p.m., Gomez said. The family did
not become alarmed until the next morning when the child was still
asleep at 9:30 a.m., Gomez said. He was breathing but they couldn’t wake
him up.
At that point, Gomez said, the father mentioned the cookie crumbs and the family put two and two together.
The grandmother told police that a silver-dollar-size bite had been enough to make her sleep.
The boy was admitted to a hospital for observation and later released.
“No one knows how much he ate,” Gomez said.
