Police raid Bangkok shop selling cannabis sweets
A cannabis shop selling cannabis infused sweets was raided after a couple complained to Bangkok police they passed out after eating some of them.
A police raid in Bangkok targeted a cannabis shop selling cannabis-infused sweets following complaints from a couple who reported feeling unwell after consuming the products. The raid, conducted by the Central Investigation Bureau, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, resulted in the seizure of 90 unregistered packs of cannabis jellies.
The shop, located on Banthat Thong Road in Pathumwan district, was suspected of distributing the products, which were packaged to resemble children's sweets and advertised online. The arrested individual, a 26-year-old woman named Saowalak, claimed she had been working at the shop for over a year, selling the jellies for 80 baht each to customers, including foreign tourists.
Authorities will investigate whether the THC and CBD content in the products exceeded legal limits. The Food and Drug Administration has advised parents to prevent their children from consuming cannabis-infused food and emphasized that adults should not ingest any edibles with a THC content exceeding 1.6 milligrams per container.
