Illicit snacks mimicking real-life candies include 'Reefers' and 'KushKat' chocolates

As Halloween approaches, police on Vancouver Island are urging the public to use caution after officers seized more than 120,000 cannabis-laced edibles, including chocolate and candies with packaging that mimics recognizable treats.

RCMP shared photos showing illicit cannabis snacks with names such as "Reefers" for cannabis-infused peanut butter cups in yellow and orange packaging similar to Reese's Pieces, as well as "KushKat" chocolates in a red wrapper like a KitKat bar.

A statement from the Mounties says the contraband candies resemble professionally manufactured products, but investigators found they were produced in "highly unsanitary and heavily contaminated" modular trailers.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween or children. There were actual concerns with these products, but instead of focusing on those, they made the highlight about this drugs in Halloween candy nonsense. The police are dumb as fuck and so are those that give any credence to their words.
