At least 85 people accidentally became intoxicated with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, after eating pizza, garlic bread and sandwiches from a Wisconsin restaurant, a new report explains.

The unusual incident, which took place in October 2024, was described in a new report published July 24 in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a regular publication put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report's authors are affiliated with Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC), who warned Wisconsinites of the mass intoxication event as it was unfolding last year.
