Parents are on high alert for marijuana-laced Halloween candy this year.
As the spooky holiday approaches, parents should warn their children to reject pieces of candy that have not been packed in a sealed commercial grade bag. Homemade wrappers draw suspicion over what exactly is in the pieces of candy.
Denver residents are especially wary of marijuana-laced Halloween candy this year because marijuana is legal there. Police warn that it can be impossible to tell the difference between regular treats and drug-infused candy.
