WEST CHESTER, Pa. - October 28, 2013 (WPVI) -- Police say they have seized more than 40 pounds of drug-laced candy from an apartment on the campus of West Chester University.
The candy, allegedly laced with THC - the active ingredient in marijuana - was seized by university police on the school's south campus at 842 New Street.
Investigators say it began back on October 20th when police came upon several West Chester students in a car on campus, with the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
The investigation led them back to the apartment on New Street. The drug-laced candy varied in size from small hard candies to candies the size of a small orange, police said.
In addition, investigators say the drug-laced candy was wrapped in groups of plastic bags for easier sale and distribution.
In a news release issued Monday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Patrick Carmody said, "With Halloween just around the corner, the last thing we want to see is drug-laced candy hitting the streets."
There was no word on any charges as this investigation continues.
Anybody with information should contact Sgt. Matt Paris at the West Chester University Police Department or the Chester County Detectives at (610) 692-5100.

Better drug-laced candy than candy-laced drugs.

Haven't they been alleging that trick or treaters are being given drug candy and razor blade apples since this shitty war on drugs began? Wasn't it crystal meth food colored to look like Nerds candies last year or some shit? It happens every fucking year, the same recycled bullshit story, just increased paranoia and amounts of "drug candy". It's tough to remember the last time that Halloween was actually a fun event for kids, and not just a sport for law enforcement to hype up already neurotic parents into pushing over exaggerated safety crap on their kids. No wonder kids are depressed by the time they hit 5th grade, I would be too.

True that. Take a look at this...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoned_candy_myths Several events fostered the candy tampering myth.
The first event took place in 1964, where an annoyed Long Island, New York housewife started giving out packages of inedible objects to children whom she believed were too old to be trick-or-treating. The packages contained items such as steel wool, dog biscuits, and ant buttons (which were clearly labeled with the word "poison"). Though nobody was injured, she was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to endangering children. The same year saw reports of lye-filled bubble gum being handed out in Detroit and rat poison being given in Philadelphia.[1]
The second milestone in the spread of the candy tampering myths was an article published in the New York Times in 1970. This article claimed that "Those Halloween goodies that children collect this weekend on their rounds of ‘trick or treating’ may bring them more horror than happiness", and provided specific examples of potential tamperings.[2]
In 2008, candy was found with metal shavings and metal blades embedded in it. The candy was Pokémon Valentine's Day lollipops purchased from a Dollar General store in Polk County, Florida. The candy was determined to have been manufactured in China and not tampered with within the United States. The lollipops were pulled from the shelves after a mother reported a blade in her child's lollipop and after several more lollipops with metal shavings in them were confiscated from a local elementary school.[3]
In 2008, some cold medicine was discovered in cases of Smarties that were handed out to children in Ontario, Canada.[4] Debunking the myths
Over the years various experts have tried to debunk the various candy tampering stories. Among this group is Joel Best, a University of Delaware sociologist who specializes in candy tampering legends. In his studies, and the book "Halloween Sadism: the evidence", he researched newspapers from 1958 on in search of candy tampering.[5] Of these stories, fewer than 90 instances might have qualified as actual candy tampering. Best has found five child deaths that were initially thought by local authorities to be caused by homicidal strangers, but none of those were sustained by investigation.[6] False claims of stranger poisoning
In 1970, a 5-year-old boy from the Detroit area found and ate heroin his uncle had stashed. The boy died following a four-day coma. The family attempted to protect the uncle by claiming the drug had been sprinkled in the child's Halloween candy.[7]
In a 1974 case, Timothy O'Bryan, an 8-year-old boy from Deer Park, Texas, died after eating a cyanide-laced package of Pixy Stix. A subsequent police investigation eventually determined that the poisoned candy had been planted in his trick-or-treat pile by the boy's father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan, who also gave out poisoned candy to other children in an attempt to cover up the murder. The murderer, who had wanted to claim life insurance money, was executed in 1984. Media and the myth
Despite the falsity of these claims the news media promoted the story continuously throughout the 1980s, with local news stations featuring frequent coverage. During this time cases of poisoning were repeatedly reported based on unsubstantiated claims or before a full investigation could be completed and often never followed up on. This one sided coverage contributed to the overall panic and caused rival media outlets to issue reports of candy tampering as well.
By 1985, the media had driven the hysteria about candy poisonings to such a point that an ABC News/Washington Post poll that found 60% of parents feared that their children would be injured or killed because of Halloween candy sabotage.
Advice columnists entered the fray during the 1980s and 1990s with both Ask Ann Landers and Dear Abby warning parents of the horrors of candy tampering.
"In recent years, there have been reports of people with twisted minds putting razor blades and poison in taffy apples and Halloween candy. It is no longer safe to let your child eat treats that come from strangers." –Ann Landers[8]
"Somebody's child will become violently ill or die after eating poisoned candy or an apple containing a razor blade." –Dear Abby[9]
Fundamentalist Christian tract publisher Jack T. Chick capitalized on the myth for prosletyzing purposes.[10]
This collective fear also served as the impetus for the "safe" trick-or-treating offered by many local malls.[11] Sharp objects
Unlike poison, there have been many incidents of sharp objects, including razor blades,[12] being found in candy and other food products. In some cases, the blades were placed in the candy intentionally, but other cases were determined to be accidental.

THC is great, but I was hoping to hear that it was laced with LSD.
Now that would be one hell of a Lollipop 
On the other hand, sad to hear of another bust

Kids should only have carcinogenic sugar and other food ingredients. Nothing that may inhibit cancer! LOL
But for real, if it were like beer and legalized this kind of dumb article would go away. Can you imagine if someone mixed booze and sugar together to market it to children, we should call that wine coolers!

Better 40 pounds of THC taken than 40 pounds of LSD But the latter option would make for a much more fun Halloween

I found a 50 lb. bag of pure LSD. I had no idea what to do with it, so I put 80 gms of bho, 1 lb. of pure cid, and 10 kg. of sugar. I put it in a big pan on the stove, and heated it up on high, on my electric stove. It melted together nice and smooth, so I spent the next 48 hours pouring into jolly rancher molds, to have plenty of expensive product to dose clueless trick or treaters with. Anyone see a problem with this idea? It will further the cause, right? I just love dosing (child)strangers with trips I could have taken. In case you don't get it, SARCASM!

In the late Cretaceous period, the first Cannabis species appear, and soon after, all the non-bird dinosaurs disappeared. Obviously, marihuana killed the dinosaurs. That giant meteor that smacked the yucatan peninsula right afterwards, coincidence.

Yo I'm a grown ass man and I can eat the fuck out of some candy. No drugs needed. In fact, one of my favorite days of the year is Nov. 1st because all the stores are trying to get rid of all their Halloween candy so you can get like ten pounds bags for nothing
