Marijuana-laced candy is a thing, obviously, and it’s clearly not for children.

But Prince Georges County police were forced to warn Maryland parents of the edibles after they seized several boxes of the sweet treats right before Halloween.

According to the Washington Post:

Lt. Bill Alexander said Friday that all of the candy was labeled as having THC and was headed to Laurel from the West Coast and Colorado.

The candy included taffy and chocolate bars, and had about 100 milligrams of THC. It also included warning labels urging consumers not to eat it all in one sitting.

There was no evidence that the edibles were going to be passed out to children, but officials wanted to be safe.

He says police wanted to warn parents to be on the lookout for such products just in case, saying it would be easy to confuse the marijuana treats with real candy.

And in Denver, where the Maryland candy originated, police are also on the lookout. From NBC:

The Denver Police Department is warning parents to keep an eye out for marijuana-laced candy in their children’s trick-or-treat hauls this Halloween to ensure the only buzz the kids get is a sugar high. The department posted a video on their Facebook page featuring Patrick Johnson, the owner of a Denver marijuana shop called Urban Dispensary. Johnson explains that pot-infused treats are often just mass-produced candy that’s been sprayed with hash oil. “Once that candy dries, there’s really no way to tell the difference between infused candy and candy that’s not infused,” Johnson said in the video. Johnson and the Denver Police Department urge parents to inspect any candy their trick-or-treaters bring home to make sure it’s in original packaging that hasn’t been tampered with.

Remember when the only thing we had to worry about on Halloween were razor blades in apples? We’re kidding. That’s pretty f*cked up too.

Be safe out there!
