A Calgary man is facing a number of drug related charges after he was pulled over by patrol officers earlier this week during a checkstop.
A subsequent search of the Chevrolet Silverado revealed significant amounts of illegal products, including 1.3kg of marijuana, 27 THC syringes, 14 shatter packages, 204 THC candies in Lego figure form and five cell phones.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court in December.
The bright colouring, multiple flavours and toy like composition of the THC candies is a specific concern due to the attraction it may poses to children. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects.
The Tsuut’ina Police Service would like to urge parents to exercise vigilance this Halloween and to contact your local police or RCMP Detachment if concerns exist regarding questionable or suspicious similar candies.
