BA crew ‘taken to hospital after passenger gave them weed-laced gummies’
Three members of British Airways cabin crew ended up in hospital after they were given gummies laced with weed.
The trio is said to have suffered ‘out of body’ experiences when they ate the sweets given to them by a passenger.
Fortunately, they had already landed when they ate the sweets after a flight from London Heathrow to LA last week.
A source told The Sun: ‘It is a godsend in this case the sweets in question were not shared out among the crew until they had arrived in the US.
‘They were consumed in the crew bus after touchdown, and tired staff gratefully gobbled them up. Almost immediately BA staff realised something was wrong.

‘By the time the group had reached the crew hotel, three staff members who had numerous sweets began suffering “out-of-body” experiences. They felt totally out of control and became panicked and scared.’
A new team was found for the return flight and the affected crew members were flown back days after eating the sweets.
British Airways has launched an investigation to find the passenger who gave the crew members the edibles.
They ‘could face multiple charges’.
A BA spokesperson said: ‘A small number of our crew reported feeling unwell at their hotel and have since recovered.
‘We sent a replacement crew to operate the return flight and there was no impact on our customers.’
