Teens hospitalised after taking lollies laced with THC that were allegedly made by a schoolmate

A 16-year old boy who allegedly laced gummy lollies with THC and then sold them to a student at a high school is facing a string of ***** offences.

THC is a psychoactive substance found in cannabis that can induce anxiety, paranoia, psychosis, hallucinations, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

The lollies were taken by the student and another female student both aged 16 on August 13.

A police spokesman said both the students became so ***** they required hospitalisation.

The school in Perth’s western suburbs alerted police the following day, and the boy’s home was searched that day.

Perth detectives charged the 16-year old with nine ***** offences, including the manufacture and ***** of cannabis lollies.

He was due to face the Perth Children’s Court on Thursday but the boy did not appear, his lawyer asking the court for a six-week adjournment.

His lawyer also asked the court for the media to refrain from publishing the boy’s next court date in case it led to the identification of his client.

The lawyer told the court that anyone could attend court and find out who the child was if the date was published.

He said he was not seeking an order, but that was their position.

Magistrate Alana Padmanabham disagreed with the lawyer and said court dates were routinely published by the media.

“That is the way our system works,” she said.

The 16-year old’s bail was extended, and he is due to appear in court in six weeks.
