California cops warn of marijuana-laced candy

In other news, does anyone want to go trick or treating in LA?

Despite the fact that no child has ever fallen victim to candy contaminated by strangers, police in Los Angeles have warned parents to be on the lookout for Halloween treats that have been “laced” with marijuana. Three kids were hospitalized in Huntington Beach last week for eating pot cookies, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has reminded people to make sure no pot-dispensary candy has made it in to kids’ trick or treating sacks:

“These lollipops, candy bars, they look pretty legitimate. The problem is if it gets in the wrong hands and a kid licks a lollipop, they get ill or intoxicated,” said Cpt. Ralph Ornelas of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Okay, high perhaps, I’ll give them that. But has anyone met a stoner willing to pass out their stash to anyone who happens to come knocking at the door in a Stormtrooper costume?
