BEWARE POT-LADEN HALLOWEEN CANDY

Parents, if you haven't already done so, be sure to cull through the 
kids' Halloween bounty to check that all goodies are safe to eat.

That should be a routine every year - but this September, there have 
been reports here of high school students being sickened by candy 
containing THC, the active ingredient and toxicant in marijuana. The 
packaging was innocent-looking enough, with one "100% vegan and 
organic" fruit roll-up product bearing the label Shaka Organics 
Hawaii. Be warned that cannabis candies are being sold in the several 
states that have legalized recreational pot, and, of course, all over 
the Internet.
