Denver police warn of Halloween pot candy


http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire/upiUPI-20141016-120835-4725

How exactly do you "infuse" stuff with pot besides the usual muffin / brownies stuff? O_o

why would people waste drugs by giving it to kids?

Well, THC is the psychoactive compound in marijuana, and it's soluble in fat. You can then infuse it into a liquid and then put it into other things, but that's why you usually see it in buttery baked goods.

I'm at work so I can't google a tutorial, but that's the principle.

Obviously parents should be inspecting any treats their child gets regardless of the legality of marijuana in their jurisdiction.

Because some people apparantly think it is great fun to see all neighbourhood kids get high on candy.
This is so sad...

They should have gone with heroin. Just enough to hook 'em.

speaking of halloween, does anyone know if I'll get in trouble for walking around in a ghillie suit?

Oh to be trick or treating in Denver this year...

Seriously, if kids get their hands on this 'pot candy', they'll get the munchies. Which will mean they want more to eat, which will mean.....

Are there any examples of this actually having happened? That a trick-or-treater was given a marijuana edible?

Not a trick question, I don't know the answer the answer.

Also, the answer might potentially change in 2 weeks.

Otherwise, I'll assume the real threat to our children remains Jenkem.

Not if you stick to the high grass...who's going to see you

There was a story on my local news about a week back or so, of the legal "pot soda" company having an issue with their bottles/crates exploding

Time for the annual "people are drugging kids/razorblades in apples/ground up glass in brownies/whatever" Halloween scare?

I dunno... THIS might be the first year where there's something scarier than creepy people doing *things* to candy.


By this, I of course, am referring to EBOLA (echo echo echo)

Yes. And don't flash headlights at cars with no headlights on, gang stuff there. And don't forget the ground hog saw its shadow..... or didn't....

That was real in LA. I don't know what you're on about.

The internet disagrees.

Coincidentally enough, I heard on the radio this morning how Hershey's just settled a lawsuit with a marijuana edibles company for basically copying Hershey's brands and packaging for their treats. The same thing happened in California a few years ago, with, for example, Buddafingers, Raste Reeses, and Pot Tarts.

Between those edible names and the names of dispensaries, stoners never cease to amuse me.

TV reports when I was there about actual shootings disagrees with the internet.

On one hand, I could see that legitimately being a worthwhile concern for some. On the other hand, I'm struggling to see the damage caused by a kid accidentally getting some pot candy beyond savagely devouring the rest of their stash that night. I guess depending on how concentrated the candy was, they could pass out before they fell asleep.

I think I'd almost rather have a stoned kid on my hands than a sugar infused hyper one though. Plus then I could get high off that delicious self-righteous outrage at knowing someone dared give my "beautiful little angel" drug candy !

And that was when, exactly?

Sources?

There is also no way that people would waste perfectly good weed infused candy. For one, it's expensive to buy it from a dispensary so it would be a waste of money to give it away. Second, to make it at home is also expensive and time consuming so it would be a complete waste.

I'm sure they were as reliable as the reporting on Jenkem.

Lest we forget rainbow parties, sex bracelets, Japanese eye ball licking, blue star tattoos, and the Bunny Man.

Truly, local news broadcasts are the last bastion of journalistic integrity.

Hey, They Are In Your Corner(tm)

Well thank god for this warning, I'll have to look out for the pot 'infused' candy after I get the munchies from smoking a bowl.

Reading the story it doesn’t actually claim that anyone has actually given any of this stuff to kids. It merely states that many pot dispensaries quite legally sell candy with pot in it, so police are warning parents as to the 'possibility' that some stoner types might hand it out to trick or treaters.

It’s a bit of a non story really.

Sure there is. I know several people that got, and in some cases get, jollies from getting people high absent their consent. It isn't a widespread phenomenon, but it is one which exists.

Corrected your typo.

I think he meant an actual article of some kind about it, not a date. I've seen references to it being a hoax present in the 80s, but no news stories about it.

I know its a thing, but there was a time before the internetz.
It soiunds stupid but not really. At the time gangs were routinely shooting the crap out of each other and everyone else. There were also over a hundred different gangs in driving distance. Each was a little different.
