The baby arrived at the hospital with his mother after repeated unsuccessful attempts on her part to wake him, said Dr. Yuri Viener, head of the children's intensive care unit at Ziv Medical Center in Safed.

The baby, who lives with his family in a northern Galilee community, underwent multiple tests after doctors suspected he ingested a toxic substance, and a urine test revealed evidence of marijuana in the boy's system.

The boy, who received respiratory treatment, along with Oxygen and fluids, woke up after five hours and is in stable condition.
