Parents and authorities were stunned at the development. Prior to this incident, no one in the community had ever heard of ingesting the plant as a way to get high.
The teen, Joshua Jenkins, was charged with selling the drug to at least five students at East Gaston High School. One student who ingested the plant had to be taken to the hospital, but is now okay.
Captain Bill Melton of the Gaston County Police Department commented on the unknown nature of the plant: "I've been in law enforcement 21 years and this is the first time I've seen or heard of it."
