Thousands of dollars’ worth of counterfeit candy and snack foods laced with THC—including imitations of brands such as Skittles and Cheetos—have been confiscated from gas stations, convenience stores, and vape shops in North Carolina.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
