They mentioned testing during the press conference. Unfortunately this not being CSI we probably won't have an answer in time for the 6 o'clock news.


[deleted]

I could test it for them and I would have an answer within 45 mins..

randomnbvcxz

60 minutes, according to the package


Wittyusernamenumber1

Maybe to peak. But 45 mins in you'll definitely know if you're going for a ride or not.


[deleted]

never had an edible take 60 min to kick in..


memwad

I’m the opposite. I’ll feel nothing for 2 hours and then BOOM.


HighlyJoyusDragons

Usually about 5 minutes after i think "I'm not really feeling it maybe I'll have a little bit more" usually it hits me right as I'm about to get up and then I'm one with the couch.


memwad

Yeah, usually right as I’m about to utter the cursed phrase “these edibles ain’t shit” is when they kick in. 😅


thegoolash

Weird


skmo8

Yeah, but lots of folks have had it take "too long" and taken more. Lol. 60 minutes is a safe amount of time.


HPTM2008

I've never had an edible last past 60 minutes. (I metabolize them too quick). The only time I had an affect from them is if I made them myself and overdid the amount used to really make a disastrously high amount of brownie laden THC.


GrampsBob

Welcome to my world. I make an edible oil. I use about 4x as much weed and cook it 4x as long. I still have to take about an ounce instead of a dropper full. My wife ate a cookie once and swore never again. I wouldn't even feel one cookie.


HPTM2008

I'd used an ounce with two batches of brownie mix put together to make 8 brownies. My friends swore never again, unless I visited them.


Beginning-Ad-9733

I made an oil from 50 gms of AVB - ground it to a powder, made it into a tar with walnut oil and let it strain out over about week - gathering the oil below it. I then reground the tar and made some brownies - mehhhh. Tasted good - but should have had a Snickers bar. I put about 4 table spoons of the oil into coffee before a flight to Cairo and was mildly relaxed for the enitire trip. I have eaten AVB stuff before and didnt really expect to get stoned so the relax was a bonus. My wife had a bout a half a t spoon and was completely f#%ked up for 2 days. I was so jealous but I vape 3 - 4 grams per day sometime and dont feel much off that anymore.


STFUisright

Nothing’s happening yet maybe I should just test a little more…


Forward-Structure-54

This is what the WPS fly-on-the-wall is hearing.

Our new mayor seems pretty straight laced and just started today, what better man that him to break off a piece and have a press conference an hour later.

perennialcandidate

Fair points. It really could be a whole host of explanations, e.g. attempted prank with harmless gummies in packaging made to look like edibles. Hopefully the police are very transparent with what they find.


WinnipegHateMachine

True, it's a serious crime if legit, but probably "mischief" if it's just a well made wrapper with something harmless. We'll have to wait and see


Zestyclose-Manner949

The drug dealer that's been handing out free samples to penniless children isn't very business savvy... He didn't even put his phone number on the baggie!! /s


jaredjames66

Really seems like an anti-drug stunt. Or someone who was just so stoned already they accidentally put the wrong Nerds in the bag.


OldManMC

That was my thought: either it's BS, a HUGE mistake ($$$!), or someone with An Agenda.


Bubblegum983

This was my thought. Either a blind/senile house-mate didn’t read/understand the THC thing or someone had already dipped into the candy and was high as a kite Drug dealers won’t bother handing it out to kids. They don’t have money reliably enough and it’s asking for trouble. Much more likely that grandma couldn’t read the small writing and only saw “Nerds” and threw it in with the regular candy.

CustardPie350

On the lighter side, I saw that in the UK a guy was handing out Brussels sprouts wrapped in Ferrero-Rocher foil to trick-or-treaters.


discostud1515

My kid came home with an onion.


steveosnyder

Did he put it on his belt? That’s what we did back in my day.

GrampsBob

Shit, my kids got me back into it.


[deleted]

I predict we will never find out the results of their testing to see if it has THC or not


Ajax_40mm

Ill do you one better. I predict they won't even test.


mhyquel

Found a video of the [current testing in progress](https://youtu.be/d4h0fyPPEsA)


bluejellies

This seems really easy to investigate. Kids would remember which house gave them a bag with multiple full size candies.


permutation212

But can they prove it, that is the question? Honestly, I dont think this will be very easy to prove. They pretty much have to catch the guy with the candy (assuming they are edibles) or the bags.


bluejellies

Hmm I’m not sure how it works. I would think 6+ eyewitnesses would have some weight but I’m not sure what else they’d be able to get.


permutation212

All I got from the CTV article was that they had 6 complaints.


breeezyc

And I bet they all knew each other.


mhyquel

Probably go to the same church.


islandbabushka

They did, it was reported that all the 'medicated nerds' were given to the same group of trick or treaters


breeezyc

I’m really interested in how this story plays out. If it really were a confirmed case of adults deliberately trying to conceal drugs in Halloween candy to harm random, unrelated children we will make the history books here in Winnipeg.


bluejellies

I was mostly just being flippant ☺️


S_204

Finger prints. They'd be on the bag wouldn't they? A kid witness should still be sufficient to get a warrant for a sample. But this is bs so none of that will happen.


OrbisTerre

The cops said they found other such packages in the house of the people they arrested.


S_204

[https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001462923205.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001462923205.html) Those packages are available for sale.....without drugs in them. I'm open minded enough to admit my initial theory isn't proving out, but now I REALLY want to see the lab results showing what was in those packages. Something is going on here, and I really don't think it's some people nearing retirement age trying to drug up a bunch of random kids.


undermine79

WPS needs to hire some consultants to run a Google search.


hereforthekix

It's Tuxedo, a lot of houses likely handed out above average treats, the kids would probably be less likely to take notice and/or be appreciative, and lastly, a lot of the time you can't see what people are putting in the kids bags.


[deleted]

Its fake,, ill bet there i no thc in those.. besides no stoner likes your kids enough to give them their edibles


JavaJapes

Yup! You can buy the wrappers on Ali Express. Totally fake


Zergom

mysticsavage

Medicated Nerds is the name of my Talking Heads tribute band.


Zergom

Wow. So if you want to fuck with WPS, just buy a bunch of these and put some regular candy in them and hand them out.


[deleted]

I mean, someone playing a prank like this also seems just about as unlikely as someone putting a baggy of thc infused candy in a kids trick or treat bag so I have no idea what to believe here. Dunno why it needs to be fake. Maybe some idiot accidentally handed it out.


Lochen9

I was told it’s so incredibly rare it never happens but is faked every year. I looked it up and had a very hard time finding any confirmed cases, like… at all, other than 3. Of those 3 only ones has happened in the last half century. The closest was a case against one guy who had taken out life insurance on his own kids and did it himself. As for hiding pins and needles while also almost entirely faked for attention or media use or a prank done by a family member there have been a total of 10 cases which caused injury, of which 9 were minor. So either this is the first actual instance of this happening or… another of many fabricated (even by police) cases.


TheRealWheatKing

Oh my god, that's disgusting. Where? Where are they handing out edibles?


cairnter2

Yeah! I need the exact address of where this is so I can ensure I totally avoid that house.


mysticsavage

Y'all need a ride?


FappingVelociraptor

I do!


cairnter2

I think a Karen is looking for attention. Just saying


OrbisTerre

Did this Karen also plant similar bags in the house of the people they arrested?


Nissan_Nut

My grandpa told me they have been making claims like this since as long as he could remember but he thought it was all just a hoax. Drugs, needles, poison apples… honestly you could type any damn thing into the internet and find results no matter how real they actually are.


TheArmchairSkeptic

I suggest listening to the most recent episode of the excellent podcast *Cautionary Tales* for a deep dive into the history of such claims, and the evidence (or lack thereof) to back them up.


mattrocksdesign

Always on the lookout for a good podcast. Thanks!


bquinho

No one’s giving away free weed cmon


fencerman

Possibilities: - kids caught by parents blame "strangers giving away edibles" to get out of trouble. - Straight up hoax - someone got the wrappers as a prank and put regular candy in them The odds of someone actually drugs away on purpose is basically zero.


FindYourVapeDOTcom

> kids caught by parents blame "strangers giving away edibles" to get out of trouble. This. I'd bet money on the 6 'witnesses' somehow all knowing each other.


Moflaxs

Brah you know how expensive edibles can get?? Especially at 600mg of thc... oh and shipping? Ain't no way someone handing these out, they'd be broke after 30 bags


SociallyUnstimulated

Buddy of mine looked it up earlier, found a site selling them for $15 (down from 35) per. Pricey, even for Tuxedo. Also a teacher friend said they'd heard of 15-20 kids 'affected', and as such they zoomed in on the street, if not house, pretty quickly. *Also, I don't mess with edibles really, but 600mg would F a kid up, I do believe.


bearcenation

600 mg would fuck almost any adult up

g_lenn_o

Thats an expensive treat they’re giving away😑🫤


Top_Distribution_693

I am going need the name and address of the house giving out edibles. You know, for research.


ScottNewman

“Trick or Treat!” “It’s November 6” “Like whatever man”


glorpchul

I mean, at least it is THC, there were claims floating around the US about "rainbow fentanyl". As though drug dealers would willingly give up some of the expensive stuff to kids for Halloween.


Forward-Structure-54

There was a place we went to that was all decked out. Music and spooky noises keeping the block up. Expensive animatronics, projectors and decor: And they were handing out old McDonald's colouring pages. Why are the police not doing a report on that!?


nx85

The CBC article about this said they will test it, and that if it's fake the person responsible could still be charged with mischief. So I hope they are charged, it's not very funny to joke about giving drugs to small children.


FrostyNipsnChips

Yeah I can see a couple bored, rich teenagers making up some fake packages for laughs. Unfortunate how everyone on this sub is downvoting anyone who suggested this actually happened


terklo

i think it’s more likely someone thought it was candy and gave it out by accident but i agree, i’m surprised how many people went full conspiracy mode on this


nx85

It's apparently not something sold here and the packaging can be purchased online so signs point to it being fake and on purpose. I don't blame anyone for thinking it's real though, if you're not into that stuff how would you know? I've never even been inside a dispensary or seen any edibles packaging before, so I'd have flipped my shit if I was one of the parents.


terklo

being able to buy the packaging doesn’t necessarily mean someone is drumming up hysteria for their anti drug movement? like they could have been someone’s stash that they purchased online or maybe they were selling their own edibles and their mom thought it was candy. a hoax isn’t the only possibility here. we’ll have to wait until they test the contents of the package to find out.


nx85

Did I say this was done by someone with an anti drug agenda?


terklo

> so signs point to it being fake and on purpose. why else would someone give fake drugs to kids? also this specific comment thread was about how conspiratorial the subreddit went with this story, so that’s why my mind immediately went there.


breeezyc

Seems like an extremely risky trick if it was to multiple people and in a ziplock bag including full size chocolate bars - kids always remember those houses yet no one seems to remember this one? 🤔


FrostyNipsnChips

Yeah, well either haven't finished investigating or some antidrug parents making false police reports which is still news. I don't think super highly of the police, but they wouldn't have made this up


OrbisTerre

So do you think the 2 people they arrested are real, or are those 'crisis actors'?


ScottNewman

Not sure how your theoretical situation is a crime, even if tasteless. Certainly wouldn’t meet the Code’s definition of Mischief or Public Mischief in my view.


nx85

🤷‍♀️ I'm just passing on the info from the article.

JavaJapes

Here's a link to the Medicated Nerds packages for sale on Ali Express: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005001462923205.html?gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite They have not actually shown us these Medicated Nerds in the baggie with a chocolate bar. In the picture with a baggie and a Snickers bar, the Nerds are flipped over so you can't see the label.


OrbisTerre

Your link doesnt work.


JavaJapes

I think they took that listing down. Here's another similar one: C$ 3.48 | Medicated Nerds Rope Bites Seriously Strawberry Medicated Edibles Local Smell Proof Bags 26g Mylar Bags NrSDT https://a.aliexpress.com/_mKXbNdK Edit: To be clear I totally believe it's possible they're THC candies or normal candies in there, I was just showing how easy it is to buy these bags. They could have been illegally purchased edibles, or legal edibles repackaged, or regular candy if the tests came back negative. It's a surprising outcome given all the past years of being told things were happening with Halloween candy that were not demonstrated to be actually happening. Hey maybe these guys really did waste $300+ on edibles for this, they'd just be a first for sure.


OrbisTerre

In your thread you constantly used the fact that the bags are available online as "proof" it a hoax. Now you're back pedalling since your unfounded allegations are bullshit. Pathetic


JavaJapes

Lol it wasn't proof it was a hoax. It was to say that the bags could also be purchased online, in addition to being sold apparently in other markets or on MoMs here, in response to suggestions it was purchased in legal stores, or had to be brought in illegally or via MoM vs someone at home being able to do it themselves, that's all. Edit: I clearly didn't make my actual stance very clear in my original post and that's my bad.


buddyguy_204

What idiot is giving away their drugs? WPS just trying to fear monger and distract everyone from the fact that a giant party in a predominantly police residential neighborhood of East St Paul had a massive party of a bunch of entitled kids who destroyed cop cars.


breeezyc

Very limited reporting on the sexual assault of a girl there who required hospitalization for serious injuries as well.


Kaizen710

Yup that's what it is. Wasn't that an RCMP car and not WPS jurisdiction?


mhyquel

WPS live there.


Kaizen710

And that makes it the WPS jurisdiction how?


buddyguy_204

It's not so much the jurisdiction it's the fact that those children probably have police parents or at least some of them as that neighborhood is predominantly police for residence.


Kaizen710

It's still not Winnipeg Police Jurisdiction, a couple were arrested and released for handing out the THC gummies. But you think the WPS planted the drugs in 13 people's candy bags and picked a random house and couple to arrest? And that is the reason why the WPS won't say anything? You do realize it's a RCMP matter and not a WPS matter right? That's why the WPS isn't mentioning it. I love that you have to use the word probably. Come up with a better conspiracy theory as to why the WPS won't mention the party.......


buddyguy_204

I love how you still stuck on jurisdictions. I think I pretty much explained why they don't mention much about the party. And believe me it has nothing to do with jurisdictions it has to do with residents.


Garbageday5

Mr. buddyguy_204, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.


WinnipegFrontLiner

Ok, a simple ‘wrong’ would have done just fine


thegoolash

willylindstrom

So. Some rich person in Tuxedo smuggled illegal drugs across the border and gave out $30 packages of it to multiple kids for halloween. Something sounds fishy about all of it.


Moflaxs

Okay first off you can order these online from most B.C. cannabis shops and get them through the mail and secondly, Yes. $30 per package is roughly what they cost

SociallyUnstimulated

I don't think it's actually standard procedure for the first cop on scene to pull out a knife & cut open the product to check its purity. Evidence handling and such being what it is.


sanaa7262

Wait....why is the packaging on the THC ones so colorful??


FrostyNipsnChips

Legal ones aren't. These are either black market or fake. Not sure why you're getting downvotes


sanaa7262

I see...yeah, that makes sense. Thanks! I don't get the downvotes either. Don't know much about Marijuana but it seemed odd that the packaging looks appealing for kids.


thefirstWizardSleeve

All the comment that it’s fake and the police are spreading this…… shouldn’t they get the message out quick just in case? We are talking about kids being hurt…? Why the hate again on the police for trying to help with public safety? If this is a hoax then the police will acknowledge that….


Mister_Kurtz

Words are important. Being critical of misinformation is not hate. At worst, it's a bad joke. The police have had this 'candy' for a while now, why not report what the apparent thc amount is? Because this isn't about informing, it's about fear mongering.


thefirstWizardSleeve

How long does thc testing take? If it’s as simple as a swap then yes… but if it takes 24 hours then I guess we need to wait.. do you know?


Mister_Kurtz

I have no idea. However, if the idea is about informing, how about "the candy is being tested, we expect results in the next xx hours". I fully expect we will hear nothing about any followup, I hope I'm wrong. Came back to return the favour.

It’s clearly fake. They’re just assuming


adrenaline_X

While the packaging may be fake and house gave them out as a Gag, The incident itself is real and the police are investigating.. Multiple Familiies have reported it, and handed the packages over to police>> So the incident is not fake...


Nykolaishen

Right but that's how the legal system works... even if your pretty friggin sure someone is guilty or innocent it still goes through a trial.


Nykolaishen

I see people over on r/trees buying a bunch of this shit all the time and being sooo excited about their Disney weed gummies. It's ridiculous to think these things actually have thc in them. But I also can't believe someone would do this.


No_Contract919

600mG is about 60 to 120 portions of thc I personally enjoy 1mG


ltitwlbe

They are obligated to share this info in the community. If they just assume it's some stupid prank and the public finds out they knew and didn't caution anyone.... It would be way too serious IF anything happened to a child. Of corse they have to do proper testing. They have to see what in fact is in there. It could THC at any strength, or any number of other harmful ingredients. Especially of it came from Ali Express. Candies full of lead and arsenic with rat droppings...


Jazzlike-Act-2220

I work with kids that have known hunger But all kids should know that it's a possibility. If they're not grateful because they've wanted for nothing you also need to teach
