Police Urge Parents in the United States, California, and New York to Check Halloween Candy for Drugs and Harmful Objects

Police departments across the United States have urged parents to check their children's Halloween candy for potential drugs or harmful objects. Incidents of cannabis-infused candy being found in children's treats have been reported in several states, including California and New York. One child in the Bay Area fell ill after accidentally ingesting a THC-infused candy, but has since recovered. While some argue that the concern is exaggerated, public safety announcements and law enforcement agencies continue to advise parents to inspect their children's candy before consumption.
