But more pertinently, THC Edibles are a Class B controlled drug in the UK and we’re told that the affected individuals consumed them in the crew bus after arrival. So logically they must have come from the UK in the first place - which means someone has either procured them in the UK illegally or taken them into the UK from California illegally (and then brought them back on this flight). This, I think, is the bigger issue for whoever was responsible.
Or quite possibly bought elsewhere in the world by someone who transited LHR then on to the US. I do not agree that logically they must have come from either California or the UK.
