Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the part of the marijuana plant that makes people high.
The person reported feeling “dizzy and light headed” after eating half of a jelly bean, police said.
The candy was tested by Pocatello Police and then sent to the Idaho State Lab for further testing, according to a news release.
Lab results came back in August and the state’s test determined no controlled substances were detected in the jelly beans.
