Three British Airways cabin crew members were hospitalised after consuming marijuana-laced gummies given to them by a passenger. The sweets were eaten after the crew had landed in Los Angeles following a flight from London Heathrow last week.
According to a source, the gummies were shared among the crew on the bus after touchdown. Tired staff reportedly ate them gratefully, but almost immediately realised something was wrong. By the time the group reached their hotel, three members who had eaten numerous sweets began suffering 'out-of-body' experiences, feeling out of control and becoming panicked and scared.
A replacement crew was arranged for the return flight, while the affected staff were flown back days later. British Airways has launched an investigation to identify the passenger who supplied the edibles.
A BA spokesperson said: 'A small number of our crew reported feeling unwell at their hotel and have since recovered. We sent a replacement crew to operate the return flight and there was no impact on our customers.'
