I don’t disagree with you but couldn’t you make the same argument with alcohol? There are plenty of alcoholic drinks with colorful packaging that taste like candy.

No you can't chug a 5th like candy, you could accidently eat a 1000mg+ of THC gummies.

It's different in that a child likely won't drink enough alcohol to be poisoned whereas just one or two delicious gummies would tranquilize an elephant.

Being too high is not the same as being poisoned.

I wonder how Canada defines 'cannabis poisoning' since any child would pass out long before reaching a dosage that could result in injury or death.

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcopop They're restricted somewhat in some countries.

But some of these packages look exactly like candy, often mimicking the packaging of popular brands.
