Next time, give her an apple: A Maryland high school student is in big trouble after sharing part of a pot brownie with his teacher.

The woman began to feel sick and acted disoriented, The Associated Press reports, and she was brought to the nurse's office. When police were called, she told them that she suspected the treat she received in third period was made with marijuana.
