A 76-year-old woman is suing a catering company for $30,000 after she ate a lasagna spiked with cannabis at a wedding in February, leaving her with 'severe, permanent injuries' - leading police to arrest both the bride and the caterer.
Virginia Taylor-Svoboda attended the wedding of a relative before which the bride, Danya Svoboda, 42, allegedly schemed with Joycelyn Bryant, 31, of Joycelyn's Southern Kitchen, to serve bread, pasta and desserts laced with marijuana to nearly 70 unknowing guests.
They started feeling sick soon after eating the variety of foods prepared by Bryant and at least eight people were taken to the hospital, according to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. Some were even taken out by paramedics on stretchers.
On top of the new civil charges accusing Bryant of negligence, the bride and caterer were criminally charged in April with delivering marijuana, tampering with guests' food and misdemeanor culpable negligence after the dinner.
Taylor-Svoboda's lawsuit, filed on Monday, states that Bryant 'knew, or should have known, that allowing the food served [by Joycelyn’s Southern Kitchen] to be laced with marijuana was reasonably likely to cause injuries and damages to wedding guests.'

OLD story.
How dumb can you be?
That was the same first scene in “The Toy” with Richard Pryor & Jackie Gleason.
One way to weed out people.
Better living through chemistry!
what morons! stupid trick there, bridey.
If someone did that to me or mine, being sued should be at the very bottom of the list of things to worry about.
.
I have stopped asking that question -
because I do NOT want to know or see the answer -
nor be forced to acknowledge the frightening societal ramifications for the future of humanity.
Any answer you get will be obsolete within minutes anyway.
Much ado about nothing. Granny got high.
Florida catering firm-—
I am of the mind the media is intentionally leading with ‘Florida man, women, and now catering firm in their headlines in order to discredit our great state.
I do not see this in headlines for the other 49 states.
WTF did she think would come of this? 70 guests would all have a wonderful time, and praise her for forcing them to eat marijuana?
The stupidity of some people just amazes me.
In addition to the strength it takes 30 or more minutes to feel the effects. You could go though a fair amount of viddles then be freaking out for 4 or 5 hours.
Just $30,000? I’d be suing them for millions.
Its Ken Keysey and the Electric koolaid acid test all over again
Drugging people against their will is not cool. Ask Jerry Garcia. Well you can’t because he’s dead. :-)
Garcia and Weir suffered from bad anxiety attacks before gigs. Jerry said in an interview he did not like being stoned at gigs because at a gig you are not free to do whatever you want in the moment. This is what he said long after the Acid Test concerts which were a different animal as they could play or not play.
Anyway Garcia ate some cake icing before Woodstock laced with LSD. He didn’t like having to perform in that condition not of his choosing. He later did not want the recordings released because they sounded so bad (and they did sound bad).
I know this seems counterintuitive based on what we know of the Dead and drugs but that’s what he said in interviews.
That’s what frightens me...
