If you want to spice up your church time, maybe find a way that doesn't involve edibles.

IndyStar reports that 74-year-old Brian Jones brought cookies to the 9:15 service last May at his church, St. John's Apostle Catholic Church in Bloomington, Indiana. Oh, and said cookies were apparently laced with THC. Surprise!

Six congregation members went to the local emergency room because they were experiencing "adverse effects" after eating the cookies, including nausea, sluggishness, and lethargy. (No shit—you don't eat a whole weed cookie, even while praising Jesus.) Three of the members said the cookies tasted "saltier" than normal, and all six tested positive for cannaboids.

Jones told police he made the cookies himself the night before and didn't know anything about an illegal substance in them, but officers found "capsules of a brown, oily substance" in Jones's apartment. The capsules tested positive for marijuana, so it kinda looks like Jones either mistook the pills for chocolate chips or just wanted to make everyone freak out a little.

Jones now faces preliminary charges of criminal recklessness and possession of hash oil, IndyStar reports. So maybe don't blaze it for Jesus.

An earlier version of this article stated that St. John's Apostle Catholic Church is in Bloomingdale, Indiana. The church is in Bloomington; the article has been amended. We apologize for the error.
