Make sure your child does not get their hands on these products that look like the regular candy snacks you see in stores, but these contain much more.

Here is a Press Release from the Texarkana Texas Police Department:

At first glance, these look like the candy you’d get from any convenience store. However, when you look a little closer, you notice that they contain THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that produces the feeling of being high. We arrested a man and seized a box of these THC edibles during a traffic stop on Jarvis Parkway this morning.

The packaging looks so close to that of some brands of popular candy. We’ll stop short of saying that they are intentionally marketing it to kids (you can make up your own mind on that), but we’re certainly concerned that some might mistake them for their favorite candy – especially if they’re not paying attention. As parents, you definitely want to be on the lookout and be able to recognize them if you see your kids with them.
