The packaging of THC products resembles that of popular name-brand snacks. Authorities want to remind the public that these types of products can pose a danger, especially to younger children who may accidentally consume them.

Brownsville PD encourages parents to speak with their children and teens regarding the risks of buying THC products online or from unverified sellers and to double-check the snacks their children are eating or bringing home.
