Someone might wanna check the “ingredients”.
The Mansfield News Journal is reporting on a bizarre story out of Butler, Ohio in which 20 fans at the Ohio Dreams country music festival fell ill after ingesting THC (weed) laced edibles called “nerds”.
Richland County Sheriff’s Maj. Joe Masi said the concert-goers were given packets between 10 and 11 a.m. The packets were marked “Nerds,” which is a type of candy.
“There were about 20 pieces in each one,” Masi said. “Each had a very, very high dose of THC. We have not seen this stuff in our area before.”
Masi said the victims were treated by firefighters with naloxone, as if they had overdosed on opiates. Authorities made arrangements for the substance to be tested at the Mansfield Police Department crime lab.
“(Crime lab director) Tony Tambasco said he has not seen such a high concentration of THC in his lab,” Masi said.
Either this was a bad, dangerous joke; or some inexperienced people are passing out things they shouldn’t be.
No word on any arrests or charges.
