THC-related poison control calls tripled in Texas after hemp became legalized. It’s not dried flower in glass jars that’s sending children to hospitals but the ultra-potent, youth-targeted hemp-derived THC edibles that look like candy, cereal bars, sodas, and snacks. These are not “natural” products. They’re engineered for potency, easy to conceal, and often packaged to mimic popular children’s brands. Below are real photos of what these products look like on our THC Photos page. Parents and trusted adults deserve to see and know the truth. Visit thcphotos.org/ to learn what to watch for. texastribune.org/2025/07/22/… @TexasTribune
