UK news: Cannabis sweets disguised as Haribo and Skittles are being sold to kids on social media, investigation reveals
Cannabis sweets 'marketed at children' are being packaged to look like bags of Haribo and Skittles before being sold on social media, an investigation has found.
They are also using the messaging services Whatsapp and Telegram, with the latter the most popular platform for dealers to provide prices and initiate sales. The story came to light after a dealer added a journalist on Instagram to an account selling cannabis sweets. The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit , which has a unit to tackle the threat of serious and organised crime across eastern England and covers Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and Essex, said boys and girls under 18 are consuming cannabis edibles, primarily those of secondary school age.
