NY AG warn parents about snacks with high concentrations of THC

New York‘s attorney general is warning parents about snack products that have “dangerously high concentrations of THC.”

Marijuana can be consumed in a variety of ways other than smoking it and to cater to those who prefer to take in their cannabis through edible snacks and meals, cannabis companies have created packaging that emulates candies, foods, and various treats.

These items are typically sold at cannabis shops.

Now, New York’s attorney general Letitia James is warning people and parents to check their snacks closely as they might actually have cannabis in them.

“These unregulated and deceptive cannabis products will only confuse and harm New Yorkers, which is why they have no place in our state,” James said in the press release. She added that cannabis products that look like regular foods are illegal in the state.

The press release showed images of packaged snacks to look like everyday treats, like Sour Patch Kids, Cheeto Puffs, Doritos, and more.
