Traces of rat poison found in cannabis 'sweets' like 'Zoot Pastilles' and 'Dorweedos'

Police have issued a warning over drug dealers injecting or lacing THC - which is found in cannabis - into cookies, cakes, chocolates, sweets and even seaside rock.

The Nottinghamshire Police archive and exhibits department - which test most of the drugs are seized by the force - say “cannabis is still the number one recreational drug in Notts”. But new areas have been explored by drug dealers, the force said.

Some dealers went as far as manufacturing their own packaging including 'Zoot Pastilles' and ‘Dorweedos’ which look just like a popular brand of crisps. Officers are concerned these drugs could be marketed to young people and are actively clamping down on those who peddle this product.
