Deputies in Kentucky said they found Xanax-soaked gummy worms during a drug bust Sunday in Frankfort, WLKY reported. Officials are now warning parents to be vigilant about giving their children the chewy treat.
"The problem we're seeing is you don't know how much Xanax is actually there because they're being soaked in the selling bags and then closed and distributed to whoever., Franklin County Sheriff Chris Quire told the television station. “So what you think you might be getting isn't actually what you might be getting.”
Deputies said they have found gummies laced with THC, but the Xanax gummies are more dangerous, WKYT reported.
Investigators said they also found marijuana, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine during the drug bust at a Frankfort home, WLKY reported.
Deputies said they were concerned the tampered candy could land in the hands of children.
"With it being candy, and we've seen these drugs in our schools, the first thing we thought of is we have to get the message out because it's the first we've seen in our county of these," Quire told the television station.
