Not every country on the planet celebrates Halloween, but it remains one of the most popular holidays of the year in many countries. It is also one of the oldest festivals.

International festivals as we know them originated from early versions of popular festivals, dating back to ancient Celtic festivals that began around 2,000 years ago.

The Celts started this tradition in what is now Ireland, England and the North France It is part of the New Year’s ceremony.

Zooming in to this day, the holiday has morphed into people handing out candy to kids (and some parents) in various outfits.

Just as Halloween is popular among those eager to decorate and feed people’s sweet tooth, it’s also a popular target for cannabis opponents to spread their propaganda.

Cannabis in Halloween Candy?

It seems that every year with Halloween, cannabis opponents begin to ramp up their “warnings” about the distribution of cannabis candy to children.

The baseless “warnings” of cannabis opponents were then perpetuated by the mainstream media, who published articles about the “dangers” of marijuana-infused Halloween candy.

This is a very common phenomenon in the US and seems to have spread to Ireland, where Ministry of Education issues its own warning over cannabis Halloween candy.

“These contain THC This is a growing concern in communities and schools across the country, and parents and guardians should be extra vigilant during celebrations such as Halloween, when parties will be held and the risk of accidental consumption of these products is much higher. ‘ warned.

In addition to the region’s media, Irish schools have helped spread unfounded propaganda.

lack of evidence

As of this writing, there is no solid evidence that marijuana-infused candy is widespread among trick-or-treating people. Not in Ireland or anywhere else.

Of course, this is not shocking to cannabis consumers who know firsthand the substance infused into the cannabis food not cheap.

In short, no responsible cannabis consumer would waste a lot of money trying to get kids to be stoned as part of some disgusting prank.

To be clear, keeping kids away from marijuana is a very serious issue that needs to be dealt with properly, but spreading a false refrigerated madness won’t help anyone except marijuana prohibitionists who insist on prohibition.
