Last week, federal agents raided and shut down a factory specializing in making candy treats. Their not-so-secret ingrediant became more relevant in the last year. These treats were claimed to only be intented for medical marijuana patients (since medical marijuana can be prescribed in California.) On the contrary in fact though, the factory had ties with major drug dealers, and pot clubs, ordering over 4 tons of chocolate in the past two years to make marijuana treats with. Amongst the products there were "tainted" versions of the following: peanut butter, jelly, butterfinger, mr.goodbar, rice crispies treats, moonpies, ice cream, cookies, and even energy drinks.
This company believed to have sproated after medical marijuana began to boom. They were shipping to many different parts of the world, including California and Seattle. Federal agents also seized 460 pot plants from the company. Police are still on the lookout for the fourth subject believed to have assisted with the company, Tainted Inc. Parents are becoming worried that this candy might end up in the childrens halloween basket. Once again people, check your kids candy, or better yet, go out with them. Remember the candy apple scare a few years back? Geez. While one suspect was being arrested, a DEA agent shot her Doberman Pinscher dog, says her boyfriend, who had no affiliation with the company. Police will be taking the investigation further.
