Parents in British Columbia are being cautioned to watch out for unwelcome surprises in their children’s candy bags.
The British Columbian government warns people to be on the lookout for cannabis mishaps in the Halloween treat jar.
According to Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General of British Columbia, “illegal cannabis frequently appears in bright and colourful packaging made to seem like popular candy that kids love to get this time of year.”
It’s crucial for people to put away, lock up, and carefully store any cannabis products they may have been using, especially edible versions that may look appetising to small children. It’s also vital to keep in mind that legal cannabis products can still be appealing to youngsters.
“Cannabis users are reminded to be careful not to unintentionally give out the drug because the packaging often resembles that of traditional candy, thus parents are urged to examine their children’s candy before eating.
Only people who are 19 years of age or older are allowed to buy, possess, and use non-medical cannabis products in British Columbia.
