British Airways Cabin Crew Hospitalized After Passenger’s THC-Laced Gummies Given on Heathrow–LAX Flight

British Airways says the affected staff have recovered after treatment.

Overview

  • The gummies were shared on the shuttle to the hotel after landing in Los Angeles, not during the flight.
  • Three crew members were taken to hospital with acute reactions including panic, anxiety and reported out-of-body experiences.
  • Doctors and media reports said the packet contained about 300 milligrams of THC, a level associated with intense psychoactive effects.
  • An alternate crew operated the return leg to London, and the affected employees were later flown home as passengers.
  • The airline is seeking to identify the passenger who gifted the sweets, and there is no indication crew knew they contained cannabis.
