The alert warned that the teens, one of whom was a student, may have used marijuana laced with "an unknown and very powerful substance," officials said Friday. "We are hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else," said Tom Leonard, school principal. Barrington-Inverness Police Chief Jeff Lawler said a community alert was issued after the two teens were hospitalized in three days with what he said were similar symptoms. He did not release their names or ages. He also said he did not know whether the teens had been released from the hospital. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
