Scare tactics. Nothing more. Who the hell could afford to do that, anyhow?

I mean, if I had to choose between me getting high, or getting some kids high for free - what do you think i'd choose? I think a lot of people are too selfish to give away free drugs to kids... (at least when they won't get anything out of the deal lol).

Truth. This is why noone stands on the corner GIVING MJ away. Generally anyone paying for it doesn't intend to give it up without getting something in concern. How many small children get jello shots for halloween? This isn't a problem. If it happens to one or two kids it'll be a story. Even if a kid did get a little piece of candy with some pot in it, I doubt they would be seriously hurt. I'd be much more concerned about them getting hit by a car while trick-or-treating. That's a legitimate concern to have. It's a thing that actually happens, which puts it in a different category from stoners spending their money (and daily allowance of purchase) on candy to give away to someone they won't see it.

If this happens at all, I expect the "gift" will be from someone involved in the kids life in some way that expects to be there or hear about the results. It won't be happening with strangers, unless it was some absurd anti-pot activist trying to make a point about the danger of a crime where he was the only person committing the crime.

Actually, I also thought Dope usually meant coke or heroin. Of course, I'm not into the drug scene. I've got way too much living to do to waste time on those drugs.

I doubt it's likely kids will run across someone giving out this type of candy, especially given the prices.
Trick or treating is still big in my neighborhood. Can you give us an actual example of someone giving out candy at Halloween to hurt a kid? My kid has outgrown the custom, but I love having trick or treaters at my home.

Absolutely. Always did. Nothing ever suspect.

It hasn't been big anyplace I lived for many years. I recall some hospitals offering to X-Ray candy, this was in the 90's. There were a few cases years ago, still I wouldn't trust people I didn't know well giving out anything that could be tampered with. Last year some kid claimed to find a razor blade in a fun size M&M package but like the 08 incident of metal shavings they thought it was a manufacturing problem. Nonetheless there are just too many weird people about to trust folks ya don't know well. In neighborhoods like yours I'm sure most people know one another well and have kids.

I have never heard weed/MJ referred to as dope. Usually dope is strictly for the big 3 - H, Coke (or Crack), and Meth

That said, I have smoked herb everyday for the past 20+ years and I have my MD/PhD, so for the poster who said your brain is fried if you smoke everyday, I have bad news for you. Maybe it doesn't do anything except relax me at the end of the day? Oh yeah, and it probably decreases my overall risk of getting cancer significantly, as we continue to see more and more in research with THC and cancer. Win win!
