Copycat packaging of marijuana edibles poses risk to children, study says
CNN
Packages that look just like popular candy and snack foods are filled with marijuana edibles, fooling the unwary and endangering children, a new study says.
Those three letters stand for tetrahydrocannabinol, the part of the marijuana plant that makes people high.
Eating even a small fraction of that bag would "overwhelm a child," said Danielle Ompad, associate professor of epidemiology at NYU School of Global Public Health and senior author of a new study investigating copycat packaging in cannabis sales. The study was published Tuesday in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
