Two fathers had a frightening experience after their children picked up what appeared to be candy from a porch in Ocean Beach while trick-or-treating, only to discover the packaging identified the treats as psilocybin mushroom gummies.
The San Diego Police Department is investigating the Halloween incident, but questions remain about who left the gummies outside the home and whether they actually contained illegal drugs.
Frank Cary and Cameron Hunter were trick-or-treating with their children and several neighborhood families Saturday night when they made the discovery.
The parents said they were walking just a few yards behind their children when the kids approached a porch with a bowl of what appeared to be candy.
Cary said his 2-year-old grabbed one of the packages before he noticed something unusual about it.
