Yeah… a bid to lure young people into taking illegal drugs. Pull the other one.

So. What do the dealers stand to gain by poisoning their customers? Sounds like bullshit to me.
FFS, edibles aren’t made by “injecting the drug into sweets”, that makes no sense at all 🤣 One batch that contained rat poison obviously isn’t great, but it doesn’t mean it was ‘laced’ with it — what would be the point of that?
I’d love to see those test results.
Otherwise its just another lie from police making it harder for people to make educated decisions about drugs
Note: Warfarin is in rat poison. Dealers abuse warfarin to cut some drugs (particularly uppers). It thins the blood so gets them higher for longer and would probably up the addictiveness.
Never heard of THC products laced with warfarin – but it is possible.
I dislike this practice, never or will never try one. But I hate the way papers blur basic facts in order to make headlines.
“THC sweets are laced with a drug that GPs use to thin the blood of patients” would be more accurate.
They want you to think that dealers go out, buy rat poison, and put it in their products. The reality is that this has been going on since the 80s and 90s.
If only we could buy them from retailers who have to meet food-hygiene regs. There seems to be some legal impediment, must be an oversight. I’m sure a quick bill to fix this will be forthcoming from the commons.
