Marijuana Candy: Police Say Treats Are A Trick

Several boxes of marijuana infused candy were seized this week by Prince George's County Police.

The threat parents should be looking out for this year won’t be razors in candy apples: it’s pot in chocolate bars and taffy.

Earlier this week, the Prince George’s County Police seized several boxes of candy infused with marijuana.

The confiscated candy includes mint, blueberry and banana-walnut chocolate bars, as well as taffy. Each piece of candy contains 100 milligrams of THC.

The boxes arrived from the west coast and Colorado, according to a PGCP release.

“Despite the on-going investigation, we felt it important to let our community know that products like this exist so parents and guardians ensure the candy doesn’t somehow wind up in their children’s Halloween candy bag,” said Captain Chuck Hamby, Narcotic Enforcement Division Assistant Commander.
