'Victoria police are asking parents to check their kids' candy after a child went trick-or-treating and wound up with a package of marijuana gummies.'

When I was little kid, my parents would check for razor blades. Now parents need to check for 'pot'. 

If I was a parent, I would be sifting through the candy anyway...to see if I could get a cut. Of the candy that is, not pot.

'The parents called police immediately and identified the home the gummies were handed out at. Police seized the gummies, labelled "Twisted Extracts Black Cherry Zzz Bomb." Each dose contains 10 milligrams of cannabis, according to the label.'

'When officers attended the home, they spoke with an occupant who they say didn't appear to be aware that pot-infused candies had been handed out to a child. In a follow-up tweet, police said they didn't believe the gummies were handed out maliciously. Police say they instructed the person to stop giving out candy and to turn out their lights to deter any other trick-or-treaters.'

Quote (satirical) to Victoria Police: 'Hey man, that was for my own personal use only, maaan.'
