FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. — The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office is warning parents to be careful about what their kids are eating after a middle school student was found with THC gummies.
According to the sheriff’s office, the candy was packaged to look like Trolli Sour Gummy Worms.
“#DIDYOUKNOW: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) infused gummy candies can be designed to resemble innocent treats,” deputies said online.
In reality, the gummies found were “Trrlli Sour Medicated” gummy worms, labeled with a 600 milligram tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) dose.
