Unsuspecting Students Given LSD-Laced Gum : Drugs: Seven teens from Marina High School in O.C. are recovering from hallucinations, other effects.

She said the incident makes her angry, but she is relieved that neither she nor her friends were seriously hurt.

"It can happen any time anywhere," she said. "It's very scary. One of us could have jumped out of a window or done something crazy."

Police said the two boys who had chewed the LSD-laced bubble gum apparently were not aware that it was laced with the drug.

The mother of one of the boys called police Tuesday night after she drove her son's friend home, Poe said. She told police that at first she thought only her son's friend was acting shaky, but then she noticed her own son hallucinating.

Security was stepped up at Marina High on Thursday. Some students worried that the drug incidents will tarnish the school's reputation, although it has a low dropout rate and above-average ratings in a recent Department of Education statewide report card of schools.

"It's going to be a public humiliation for us," said Brian Trimble, 15. "It's going to be bad."

Georganne Proulx, a Marina Aquatics Booster board member who has two children at Marina, said she was stunned when her 15-year-old son told her about the incident. "I wasn't aware that drugs were that accessible," Proulx said. "I'm doing all I can do to keep my kids active and to keep them out of drugs."

Salinardi, the drill team member, said some of her fellow students asked her Thursday in school if she liked the drug trip. "I told them, 'No, I was just scared,' " she said.

Angela's mother, Linda Salinardi, said she was thankful her daughter and her friends were OK. "It could have been much, much worse," she said. "You always hear things happen to somebody else, and this time we were the somebody.

"It's the same old story," Linda Salinardi said. "Don't take candy from people you don't know."
