A recent drug bust in Johnstown, Pennsylvania uncovered loads of cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana, and Nerds Rope candies.
Except they weren't real Nerds Ropes, but hundreds of packets of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)-laced edibles made to look exactly like the beloved children's candy.
With Halloween quickly approaching, the Johnstown Police Department is warning parents that the edibles can be easily mistaken for real candy.
Police urge parents to be vigilant in checking their children's candy before allowing them to consume those treats.
It's not the first time THC edibles have been found in surrounding states.
A public health alert issued in West Virginia in June also warned of highly potent THC-infused candies, including Nerd Ropes.
The United States Attorney Mike Stuart warns the public that it is packaged like candy.
It looks like popular candy. It tastes like candy. But, instead, it is a very powerful and potent way to get high.
