Even if these candies were made almost entirely of high grade hash oil, I still don't see 24 people being hospitalized. I'm certain it must have been some synth cannabinoid that they say is THC because of using tests that don't distinguish THC from other cannabinoid compounds, or because your average news reader probably wouldn't understand what a synthetic cannabinoid is but would recognize "synthetic THC".

We are seeing more and more of these stories pop up where someone starts passing candies containing rc's off as something else at a festival and endangers large numbers of people. This should serve as a strong reminder to be careful out there in festi land. Bring your own party favors if at all possible, bring test kits and use them if you'll be imbibing the local party favors, and be extra careful in taking any candy from strangers in particular.

As someone who often likes to bring mushroom and cannabis edibles to festivals, this is a real eye opener. While I'm always extra careful to disclose ingredients and dosage to anyone with whom I should happen to share my medicine, looking back, it is a little alarming how willing people are to eat something on faith alone. This also goes for the white powders in capsules as much as it does for the homemade goodies.

Please be discerning.

Dance safe my friends
