Birthday cakes are utterly delicious and the best treat anyone could ever hope for, many people agree. The thing is that, apparently, birthday cakes can also prove a disaster, especially when the baker adds ingredients not included in the original recipe.

Admittedly, almonds, vanilla or cream can only make such treats taste perfectly heavenly. Marijuana, on the other hand, is a rather tricky birthday cake ingredient. Just days ago, a group of people in Spain learned this the hard way when a cannabis cake put them in hospital.

Whose idea was it to add marijuana to a birthday cake?

The incident is understood to have happened in the city of Oviedo in northern Spain. The marijuana-laced cake was served at a birthday party held in a local bar and was baked by the mother of one of the people attending this party.

According to The Local, the woman, whose identity has not yet been revealed, used butter mixed with marijuana to make this cake. As surprising as this may sound, word has it that the woman knowingly and willingly added cannabis to the recipe.

Thus, when confronted by authorities, she admitted to using so-called marijuana butter to make the treat. Although the woman is yet to explain why she did so, chances are that she added cannabis to the cake in an attempt to spice up the birthday party.

Not the best birthday cake recipe in the books

As mentioned, the cake baked by this woman put several people in hospital. More precisely, the police officers in charge of handling this case say that, after feasting on the marijuana-laced treat, as many as eight party-goers needed urgent medical help.

At the time they arrived at the emergency ward adjacent to the Asturias Central Hospital in the city of Oviedo, the party-goers were, if we may be so bold as to phrase it this way, stoned out of their minds. The good news is that, soon enough, they made a full recovery.

The young man whose mother baked the very special cake was taken to the emergency ward together with the group of stoned party-goers. Word has it that, when the police first tried to interrogate him, he found it too difficult a task to give a detailed account of the incident.

An investigation is ongoing and police officers in the city of Oviedo hope they will soon get to the bottom of this affair. All things considered, it is possible that the woman who baked the marijuana cake will spend some time behind bars.
