Girl Consumes Hash Brownies, Requiring Fireboat Rescue

In a concerning incident, four teenage girls aged 16 to 17 were rescued from the Rostock district's Inselsee on Saturday evening. The girls had consumed hashish-laced brownies at a boathouse located in the area.

The boathouse, which is only accessible by foot with difficulty, was the scene of the distressing incident. Upon discovery, the girls were found barely or completely unresponsive. The police, firefighters, and a large number of rescue personnel were on the scene to assist.

The ambulance service was also involved in the rescue operation. The girls were transported to shore by a rescue boat from the Guestrow volunteer fire department and then taken to the local children's hospital by ambulance. No new information about their health conditions was provided in this paragraph.

Reports suggest that one of the girls contacted a family member who discovered them in distress and alerted emergency services. The exact nature of their health issues is not yet clear, but incidents of hashish-laced or high-THC edibles causing health problems among teenagers are increasingly being reported.

These types of edibles, due to their high potency and delayed effects, can lead to acute effects such as paranoia, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, anxiety, panic attacks, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, psychotic episodes, impaired motor coordination, drowsiness, and severe overdose symptoms like respiratory depression.

Long-term effects can include dependence or cannabis use disorder, decreased cognitive abilities if use begins in adolescence, and potentially ongoing mental health impairments. Mental health risks include disruption of dopamine systems during critical adolescent brain development, increasing vulnerability to chronic psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and mood disturbances.

Health consequences for teenagers using high-potency cannabis edibles or products with novel cannabinoids are a significant and growing concern, with both acute toxicities and lasting mental health impacts well documented by professionals and families affected. It is clear that that such incidents are a matter of concern, and parents and experts emphasize the absence of any "safe" version of cannabis use for teenagers. They advocate for strict limits on THC potency and controlled environments if use occurs.
