Several Virginia elementary school students needed medical attention Tuesday after eating gummy bears laced with what authorities said was fentanyl.

The Amherst County Sheriff's Office said seven children at Central Elementary School in Amherst, Virginia, "experienced a reaction to ingesting gummy bears" while at school.

School administrators immediately notified emergency services of the incident, according to Amherst County Public Schools.

The Amherst County Sheriff's Office later tested the gummy bears, and the results came back positive for fentanyl.

Why the fuck are fentanyl gummies even a thing?

This is a massive, unanswered question. Why on earth would someone make a fentanyl gummy.
