Trick-Or-Treaters Warned Of Pot-Laced Candy

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office has issued a warning about drug-laced candy found during a recent narcotics investigation.

Sheriff Rick Stanek says chocolates and caramels laced with the drug THC were found by the Southwest Hennepin Task Force. Stanek says eating just a small amount of the candy is equivalent to smoking four very potent marijuana cigarettes.

THC is extracted from marijuana by boiling marijuana plants to create a paste similar to butter that can be cooked with other foods.

Stanek said the chocolates found were molded in shapes like hearts, stars, lips and leaves.

The sheriff says parents should be aware of the candy especially around Halloween.
