Sheriff’s Halloween pot-candy warning suggests nefarious plans afoot
Razor blades in apples and poisoned popcorn have fallen by the wayside as primary concerns for parents monitoring their children's goodie bags on Halloween.
Instead, according to a warning issued by the San Diego sheriff's office, parents should be on the lookout for marijuana-laced candies in their children’s haul this holiday.
"Products laced with marijuana look very similar to candy that is on the market, making it very difficult to spot the difference," warns sheriff's media relations officer Melissa Aquino. "In California, it is against the law to give a child a controlled substance such as marijuana. Doing so could result in felony child endangerment charges.
"Products laced with marijuana look very similar to candy that is on the market, making it very difficult to spot the difference," continues a release penned by Aquino.
A photo accompanying the warning features treats ranging from the blatantly-labeled "Medical Cannabis Space Worms" to the more easily mistaken "Pot Tarts" featuring a logo strikingly similar to the popular Kellogg's design.
A visit to the medical marijuana dispensary site Weedmaps turns up prices ranging from $5 to $30 for commercially pre-sealed packages of edible cannabis, indicating that an attempt to surreptitiously intoxicate area children would be a costly endeavor.
