Lab that laced chocolate-covered wafer bars and other snack foods with cannabis drug is raided by police

Police in Badalona, Barcelona province, have raided a laboratory dedicated to lacing favourite brand snacks with THC, the main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis.

Among the products that were impregnated by injection or dipping in a solution were KitKats, Twix and Pringles. These were then allegedly repackaged attractively and sold in cannabis clubs or sent by mail order.

Police say they have detected a trend in cannabis-style drugs appearing in food products.
