Ülesse police warn of the dangers of THC candy

EULESS, TX (CBSNEWSTexas.com) – The Uless police are sounding the alarm about children and THC candy.

The department said on social media Thursday that while the candy may look normal, it may contain THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

“Children who eat edibles may experience a variety of symptoms, including intoxication, altered perception, slurred speech, excessive sleepiness, and others,” the department said in a statement. “Beware that these products exist.”

The candy was seized during a recent investigation. Although officers say they have not seen children with these products so far, they have noticed more cases of candy showing up during their investigations.
