(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department arrested a man Tuesday after two minors overdosed on mushrooms at Fox Meadow Middle School.
According to CSPD, the two students were transported to a hospital for medical attention. Police said they overdosed on psilocybin mushrooms, commonly known as ‘magic mushrooms’ or shrooms. The Department of Justice/ Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) says ingesting mushrooms can cause psychological consequences such as hallucinations, and the inability to tell fantasy from reality.
Overdose effects include longer more intense “trip” episodes, psychosis, and possible death.

All four students were engaged with a narcotics dealer through Telegram, a phone app for instant messaging, officers said.
