Girl brainwashed that pot is harmless

High school girl caught selling pot brownies to pay for her prom dress

Ahh, prom. The high school event that every teenage girl looks forward to. But what if you couldn’t afford a prom dress?

18-year-old Saira Munoz of Yuba City, California, was stuck in this little predicament, and selected a very unconventional (and illegal) way to make some money to pay for her dress, CBS Sacramento reports.

She decided to put on a bake sale at her River Valley High School where she would feature some very special brownies she had made. Yes, you guessed it: The main ingredient in her special brownies was marijuana.

She even hired fellow student Carlos Robles to help her sell these stoner sweets.

However, she did not foresee the consequences that the drug could have on other students. One student got sick from the brownies and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, foiling Munoz’s baked brownie prom dress scheme.

“People make mistakes,” said Robles of the bake sale stunt that landed his friend Munoz in handcuffs. “I was hurt, because she got arrested, and nobody wanted to see somebody we cared about go away,” he said.

Having hired Robles as her special brownie vendor, she was charged with employing a minor to sell marijuana — which according to CBS Sacramento, is a felony.

What’s even more unfortunate for the brownie entrepreneur is that she is in danger of being deported back to her home in Mexico.

Munoz came to the U.S. in 2000 with temporary permission, but after the Sutter County Probation Department called the feds about her conviction, a deportation may be in the cards for the teen.

For now, a judge has sentenced Munoz to four years probation and nine days in jail.

Suddenly, not getting the prom dress you want doesn't seem like such a big deal.
