Police in Perth allege a 16-year-old boy manufactured a batch of cannabis-laced lollies and sold them to a 16-year-old student who had to be taken to hospital, along with another female student, after ingesting them.
A Perth schoolboy has been charged with manufacturing and selling gummy lollies laced with cannabis which left two teenagers in hospital and sparked an unusual urgent public health warning.

It is alleged the boy manufactured the cannabis lollies and sold three of them to a 16-year-old student at a high school in the western suburbs on Tuesday.That student and another female pupil ate the lollies, fell ill and needed to be taken to hospital. Both were allowed to go home after treatment.Police released pictures of the lollies — dark blue in colour with a hole in the middle — in a jar.
