Tiffany Burroughs is the mother’s name and she found the goofy gummies after her three children attended a Trunk-or-Treat event at a local restaurant that hosts monthly car shows.
Burroughs said she noticed an unusual package of gummy worms in a candy bowl but didn’t think much about it until she inspected the children’s candy at home.
The package was labeled as “Delta 8” which is a cannabinoid found in the Sativa plant.
