About 24 concertgoers in northeast Ohio were reported to have suffered medical symptoms after they ate candy laced with a drug found in marijuana.
The victims were at the Ohio Dreams sports camp complex in Butler, where the weekend-long 2016 rap music festival was being held.
Authorities say someone gave them candy-containing THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol, active ingredient in marijuana), the chemical that gives marijuana its mind-altering effects.

Regional drug task force commander says early reports of concertgoers overdosing from the candy were too strong a description. He says THC usually gives people a sense of euphoria and added that no one lost consciousness.
A spokeswoman for OhioHealth hospital in Mansfield says 24 people were treated, including with the overdose antidote naloxone.
No Fields Found.
