St. Thomas police are reminding the public to exercise caution after seizing edibles from a 16-year-old high school student.
Police say the teen has also been charged under the Ontario Cannabis Act and issued a ticket for $125.
The candy seized looks like a gummy worm but contains 200 mg of THC distillate, which police say is “a lot of purified THC” that would have “extremely potent effects if consumed all at once.”
