The incident happened Friday on-campus during school hours.
Officials say a 15 year-old female student gave the cookies to five other students which led to two of them getting sick.
Maui police say around nine o’clock in the morning, one student complained about having difficulty breathing and was taken to Molokai General Hospital for treatment.
Then, about an hour later, another student passed out, and was taken to the hospital.
That’s when police got involved.
"The school resource officer began his investigation and I believe preliminary investigation revealed that there was another student who had bought some cookies which contained marijuana to school," said LT. Ibarra with Maui Police.
"At this time the school administration is taking this incident very serious and so there is an on-going investigation. As a parent and former principal and teacher you know I encourage parents to speak to their children about the dangers of drugs and the choices they make because they can result in some serious consequences," said Lindsay Ball.
Officers are still investigating.
School officials say, under chapter 19 rules, the female student could be suspended from school.
Both students who got sick have since been released from the hospital.
A letter will be sent out to parents on Monday.
