A man who gave his grandmother some chocolate that was laced with pot won’t be charged even though she felt “high and confused” after she took a bite, York Region police say.

Police got a call from the Newmarket woman in her 80s at about 1:40 p.m. Wednesday. Police learned that she had been given cannabis-infused chocolate by her grandson, believed to be in his 30s. It’s not clear why she was given the chocolate.

When police offered her a ride to the hospital, “the woman refused and decided to ride it out,” said Const. Andy Pattenden.

No charges were laid but it is something we need to take seriously, said Pattenden.

“It’s a safety issue. Giving anyone drugs or medication without their knowledge is a crime.”
