One can go to church for various reasons - Enlightenment? Peace? Confession? Washing away your sins? Well, whatever the reason may be, one can never, even in their wildest dreams, imagine getting stoned AF and ending up in the hospital. Well, neither did these six congregation members at the St. John’s Apostle Catholic Church in Bloomington, Indiana, before they accidently munched on some mouth-watering weed cookies last year. Well, it ain’t any 20-something guy distributing these, a certain Mr. Jones, a 74-year-old parishioner, has been identified and accused of lacing the cookies with THC!

The congregants, aged between 12 and 70, ended up in the emergency room after they complained of facing “adverse effects” from consuming those cookies, which they reported as tasting rather salty. Initially, Mr. Jones accepted that he baked those cookies but denied adding weed or any illegal substance in them. However, he later turned himself in when the police obtained a search warrant to raid his house and found an “orange pill bottle containing capsules of a brown, oily substance, which later tested positive for marijuana.”

Shocked by the entire incident, Father Daniel Mahan of the church said, “We are praying for everyone involved.” He further added, “We are praying for Mr. Jones. We are keeping in prayer, those who took ill that Sunday and we are praying for justice with mercy.” While Mr. Jones has been charged with possession of hash oil and criminal irresponsibility; what lesson do we learn from this entire incident? No matter how over-caring that uncle sitting next to you appears, do not trust him at all when he offers you cookies.
