Woodstock police are warning residents after a child unknowingly ingested cannabis edibles over the weekend.
Officers responded to the Southside Park Skate Park sometime after 4 p.m. Saturday. They say a 10-year-old became sick and lethargic after accepting jujubes and cookies believed to be laced with cannabis from another youth at the skate park.
Police say the child is now safe and in good health, but they’re asking parents to remind children not to accept any food or drink from strangers, regardless of the stranger’s age.
