Parents Fear Kids Will Be Given Edibles This Halloween, The Internet Collectively Laughs

There are always concerns about dangerous things being found inside kids’ trick-or-treating bags. It’s usually something ridiculous, like, needles, or razor blades, but this year, all the rage seems to be edibles.

The New Jersey Department of Health is terrified that kids will be secretly getting marijuana edibles this Halloween, and they’ve issued a warning to parents, according to FOX 29.

They fear that edible gummies could be made to look like regular gummies, and if there’s anything that mortifies parents, is the thought of their kids getting drugged up.

While on the surface, you don’t want your kids getting secretly drugged, people who are actually familiar with edibles are calling BS on this report, and for good reason. The main issue on Twitter, as they ravage FOX’s report, is that no one’s going to waste their edibles to get kids high.

Perfect example below. If you let your kids eat gummies from a random baggie, you’re blowing it as a parent.

These may look like regular gummies, but they're actually #marijuana edibles. How to know the difference this #HalloweenWeekend @KEZI9 pic.twitter.com/A7pZMB28UG

"Watch out for edibles" is the new "watch out for razor blades in candy apples."

Just completely made up. https://t.co/jZ3ddlMlwx

Given how hard it is to get edibles, no one – NO ONE – is actually going to give these out. This is fearmongering at its finest.
