During a stay in a Las Vegas hotel, Terry Mandel, the wife of comedian Howie Mandel, found herself in a peculiar situation after consuming marijuana edibles that led to the accidental triggering of fire alarms.
It was reported that Terry Mandel had partaken in some marijuana-infused gummies which left her feeling slightly intoxicated and disoriented. In her confused state, she mistakenly activated the fire alarms within her hotel room, which brought the hotel’s security and the fire department to the scene.
Sources familiar with the incident disclosed that Terry Mandel acknowledged her error promptly and expressed her apologies to the hotel personnel. She was permitted to remain at the hotel without any further repercussions following the apology.
Her husband, Howie Mandel, known for his candidness about his battles with anxiety and OCD, has yet to make any statements regarding the incident.
The increased adoption of marijuana edibles like gummies has been noted alongside the broader legalization of recreational marijuana across various states. These products, while popular, require careful consumption due to their potent effects, particularly in settings that are not routine to the user.
Thankfully, the incident did not result in any injuries and was resolved without major incident. This event underscores the importance of using substances responsibly and being aware of how they might influence behavior, especially in unfamiliar or public settings. It remains uncertain if there will be any ramifications for Mandel following the incident, but it certainly highlights the need for cautious substance use.
