"Thought It Was a Snack"... Kids Receive 'Daema Candy' on Halloween in the US

Three Elementary School Students Consume Marijuana Candy at Event
"Report If Found," Local Police Investigating

In California, USA, a shocking incident occurred during a Halloween event where children received 'cannabis candy' and had to be hospitalized.

According to the US media outlet 'New York Post' on the 31st of last month (local time), at an elementary school in California, a child received 'cannabis candy' during a recent school Halloween event. The child who consumed the cannabis candy had to receive hospital treatment.

The child was given fruit-flavored candy at the event, but it was later found that the candy contained cannabis ingredients.

The parents, noticing the child suddenly showing abnormal symptoms, found that the candy wrapper indicated the presence of 'THC,' the psychoactive component of cannabis, and reported it to the school.

Police investigations revealed that the candy contained 10mg of THC. Local police stated that three children who participated in the event received cannabis candy.

The mother of the affected student, Beth Meloy, told local media, "The cannabis candy looked similar to the snacks children usually eat," and added, "It was only after contacting the school and other parents that I realized the packaging had THC written on it."

Local police are currently investigating the specific circumstances of the incident.

Police also urged, "Parents should check all Halloween candy their children receive to ensure they have not received cannabis candy," and "If found, report it immediately."

Meanwhile, last year in Canada, a man and woman were arrested by police for distributing candy containing cannabis ingredients to children during a Halloween event.
