San Antonio Police Department investigators intercepted about $100 worth of edible marijuana products Monday evening.

Officers working undercover discovered the marijuana-laced products at the Amtrak train station, 350 Hoefgen Avenue.

Among the confiscated edibles were gummies in the shape of stars, brownies and chocolate bars with a cartoon penguin on the wrapper. The packages, carrying the brand "Anarchy Ediables" include information on THC dosage, as well as a warning that the products may cause drowsiness.

The products also include a disclaimer that the edibles are compliant with California's Senate Bill 420, which legalized medical marijuana in that state in 2003.

SAPD Sgt. Javier Salazar said it isn't the amount of drugs officers found that is worrisome, but it's packaging.

Salazar said these types of packages could be used to market these products to children.

Salazar said the haul and others like it are believed to have come from states where recreational or medicinal use of marijuana is legal.

Drugs originating on California, Washington and Colorado have been making their way to and through San Antonio through numerous methods, including trains, police said.

Salazar said parents should be on the lookout for suspicious-looking candy.

He said the edibles confiscated have a high concentration of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and can have serious effects on children.
