Some even had logos similar to Skittles, Starburst and other popular candy normally found in variety stores. Bradley is charged with eight separate counts of drug possession and distribution. He is not an authorized dealer of marijuana products, police said.Salem police said parents, schools and students should be aware that products containing marijuana or THC are routinely being packaged in ways that could pass as ordinary candy or other foods.
