Cannabis Cake Sickens Five Employees

In 2023, a 29-year-old Dutch hotel chef from Vlissingen baked a cannabis-infused cake with three grams of cannabis and brought it to a colleague's farewell party in Zeeland. Five employees ate it during work, and two became severely ill, including a man who vomited in the laundry room and had to stay overnight at the hotel. After a settlement attempt failed, prosecutors took the chef to court, where a judge imposed a conditional fine of 750 euros and ordered her to pay one colleague 276 euros in compensation.
