Keeping trick-or-treaters safe from cannabis this Halloween

PRINCE GEORGE – To keep trick-or-treaters safe, the province would like to alert parents and caregivers to check their little ghosts or goblin’s candy and treats to ensure no cannabis products were accidentally handed out.

According to the province, Illegal cannabis often comes in bright and colourful packaging designed to look like popular candy kids love to get this time of year.

It is also important to remember that legal cannabis products can still be attractive to children, and people must put away, lock up and safely store any cannabis products they may have been using.

The dangers posed to young people by illegal, colourful packaging are frequently compounded by a high THC concentration in the unregulated product.
