Three children hospitalised after eating cannabis jellies in Dublin

The Runtz cannabis jellies confiscated by gardaí in Dublin. Dr Pamela Byrne said: “This new development is a sinister attempt to sell narcotics in the form of sweets and those involved are obviously not concerned about the consequences of these products getting into the hands of vulnerable people like children who could consume these products unwittingly to the detriment of their health.”

Three children have been discharged from hospital after ingesting suspected cannabis jellies in Dublin last night.

It is understood the children, believed to be pre-teens, became ill after consuming a product advertised as cannabis-infused edibles. The incident occurred in a house in West Dublin.
