Police in Pennsylvania are warning parents after finding a marijuana edible that looks identical to the popular Halloween candy Nerds.
The Johnstown Police department posted details on their Facebook page, and they explain that they were executing a search warrant when they found the drug. They also state that the Nerds-like rope edibles they found have 400mg of THC.
They add, "During this Halloween, we urge parents to be ever vigilant in checking their children's candy before allowing them to consume those treats. Drug-laced edibles are package[d] like regular candy and may be hard to distinguish from the real candy."
