Overview
- School officials and police say a package of gummy candies brought to Horizon Middle School tested as THC edibles that contained about 300 milligrams of THC per piece and roughly 3,000 milligrams in the bag, and 12 students became sick after eating them.
- Moorhead police executed a search warrant at the Hulst home and seized roughly 1,900 THC cartridges, large amounts of THC flower, edibles, wax, psychedelic mushrooms, and more than $70,000 in cash from a basement set up like a store.
- Martin and Amanda Hulst were arrested and face potential first‑degree controlled‑substance charges, while the Clay County State’s Attorney is deciding whether to charge the juvenile who brought the edibles and the investigation remains active.
- Minnesota law limits retail edibles to 5 mg of THC per serving and 50 mg per package and bans candy‑style packaging, and police say the seized products far exceeded those limits and were designed to look like candy.
- Police and school officials are urging parents to check backpacks and monitor what children bring home, and the case raises further scrutiny of how illegal home distribution and packaging of high‑potency THC reach young people.
