Warning About Pot Candy Bars After Student Sickened

The bars look just like a regular candy bar, but contain hash oil.


VENTURA (KTLA) -- Teachers and parents in Ventura County are being warned about "candy bars" that contain potentially dangerous hash oil, after a student consumed part of one and became ill.

A teenage student ate part of a of Hubby's Edible Bar and collapsed, according to the Ventura County Office of Education. The student was taken to the emergency room by paramedics.

In another case, a student gave a teacher part of one of the candy bars. The teacher thought it was a normal candy bar and ate it, then became ill, the education office said.

The pot candy bars come in eight different flavors, and can be bought by anyone over 18 who has a medical marijuana card.

They are being sold in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, according to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office.

The DA has notified school nurses, teachers and administrators to be on the lookout for the bars.
