LOS ANGELES—Two children at a Koreatown-area school were taken to a hospital Jan. 5 for “minor medical complaints” possibly caused by edible marijuana.

Paramedics responded at about 11:30 a.m. to the school in the 100 block of North Vermont Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The initial call indicated that four juveniles had “minor medical complaints,” according to the LAFD, which reported there was “no indication of this being fentanyl-related.”

Two of the four children were taken for hospital treatment, the fire department reported.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the preliminary investigation indicated the possible involvement of a “marijuana edible.”

No other details were immediately released.
