Authorities Warn Parents To Be On Lookout For ‘Special’ Candy On Halloween (Photos)

That old Halloween fear that everyone talks about each year has resurfaced – with a new twist. Instead of warning parents to look out for LSD-laced candy this Halloween or candy that contains needles or knives inside of it, police in Denver have posted a message on their official Facebook page warning parents to keep an eye out for marijuana-tainted candy.
The Facebook page of the Denver Police Department is warning that mass-produced candy can by sprayed with hash oil, and once the spray dries, there is no way to tell that the candy has been infused.
This warning comes at a time when Children’s Hospital Colorado has released data pointing to an increase in the cases of children ingesting marijuana in the past three years.
“Since 2005, states that allow some form of legal marijuana have seen a 30 percent annual increase in calls to poison control centers for marijuana ingestion, relative to a 1 percent increase in non-legal states,” the hospital states on its website.
The police department is urging parents to inspect all candy and throw away any treat that comes in a tampered wrapper or a wrapper that features a twist opening.
