The State Police have issued an alert concerning the illicit distribution of narcotic substances within Albania. The warning specifically targets materials containing high concentrations of THC, the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. These substances are reportedly being disseminated in the form of “edibles,” which are disguised to resemble common food products.
In a formal statement delivered to the Minister of Education, Mirela Kumbaro, the Director General of the State Police, Skënder Hita, detailed the findings of the National Early Warning System Unit for new psychoactive substances. The unit has identified troubling instances where cannabis material is being processed into gelatin and caramel-like forms. Authorities noted that the appearance of these products is designed to mimic items typically consumed by children, thereby posing a significant risk to vulnerable populations.
According to the information provided by the state police, the preparation method involves extracting the THC compound directly from the raw cannabis plant material. This extracted THC is subsequently integrated into gelatinous matrices to create the consumable products. The police emphasized the seriousness of this trend, highlighting the danger posed by substances that mask potent narcotics within appealing food forms.
The warning serves as a public advisory regarding the sophisticated nature of these drug preparations and the necessary vigilance required from health and educational sectors to protect the public. The state remains actively engaged in monitoring and intercepting such illegal distribution networks.
