The Johnstown Police Department has issued a warning after it discovered drug-laced edible Nerd Ropes that people might mistake for the real thing.
Which is why the department is now warning parents to be vigilant when it comes to accepting candy during trick-or-treating."During this Halloween, we urge parents to be ever vigilant in checking their children’s candy before allowing them to consume those treats," the post read."Drug laced edibles are package like regular candy and may be hard to distinguish from the real candy.
The Ferrara Candy Company, which makes the Nerds Rope candy, has since issued a statement of its own in response to the disturbing discovery. "This product is counterfeit and in no way associated with Ferrara Candy Company," a representative for the company told CNN."We want to reassure consumers that the Nerds products they find at major retailers across the country and at NerdsCandy.com are safe to consume."a public health alert was issued in West Virginia"It is packaged like candy," US Attorney Mike Stuart noted in the alert."It looks like popular candy. It tastes like candy.
While edibles are sometimes labeled as such, like the ones found by the Johnstown Police Department, parents should understand that not all THC-laced candies have clear labeling. So make sure to inspect and read all of the labels on your kids' candy before they start eating it -- it might just save their life.
