SPRINGBORO, Ohio – A recent Ohio high school graduate faces multiple drug charges for allegedly doling out pot brownies to classmates and at least one teacher this spring.

Police tests reportedly confirmed traces of marijuana in brownies confiscated from 19-year-old Edward Goschinski III when he allegedly brought them to school and distributed them to classmates April 10, Cincinnati.com reports.

School officials suspended five students in the ordeal – Goschinski and four classmates who ate the brownies – before contacting police and turning over the confiscated leftovers. At least one teacher also received and ate a brownie, though it’s unclear whether the teacher knew its contents or what, if any, punishment the teacher faced.

“The teacher bit into it right away and knew they weren’t regular brownies,” Warren County prosecutor David Fornshell told the Journal-News.

Fornshell said police searched Goschinski’s locker after the incident was reported and recovered a stash of brownies. The student was initially suspended and sent home with his parents, but was allowed to graduate with his class, HNGN.com reports.

WHIO reports Goschinski allegedly brought in about a dozen brownies in total, for no particular reason.

“We do not permit drugs of any sort in our high schools, and anyone who chooses to bring those into school will be prosecuted to the fullest extent,” Springboro schools superintendent Todd Petrey told the news station when the brownies were discovered in April.

Court records alleges Goschinski confessed to preparing and distributing the treats. He faces first-degree felony charges for corrupting another with drugs, as well as lesser felony offences for possession of hashish and two counts of trafficking in hashish. The teen was also charged with three misdemeanors for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Journal-News.

“He made a very serious mistake thinking it was a joke, and now he’s going to have some lifelong consequences,” Fornshell told WLWT-TV.

One student told the television station she believes the punishment is way harsh, man.

“I think it was a prank gone bad and he didn’t make a right choice then but I don’t think it should affect him for the rest of his life,” Nicolette Fiessinger said. “I think as teenagers, we don’t think long term, it’s just short term. Our brains aren’t developed yet so we don’t think clearly most of the time.”

Goschinski and his parents did not return a message from WLWT-TV for comment.

USA Today reports that the bust comes at a time when marijuana advocates are working to put full legalization of the drug for adults up for a public vote in the November 3, 2015 elections.

The group ResponsibleOhio launched a $20 million advertising campaign to sway voters into supporting the proposal, which would permit adults over 21 years old to possess up to one ounce of marijuana legally.

ResponsibleOhio ran ads about the proposal during the recent Republican primary debates. The ad featured a woman discussing how the effort will “make Ohio safer,” according to the news site.

“Joshua Eck, spokesman for the Ohio secretary of state, expects that officials will know whether the amendment will qualify for the November ballot by the end of the week,” USA Today reports.

In the meantime, Goschinski is awaiting his Aug. 28 arraignment in the Warren County Common Pleas Court.
