The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) on Friday urged parents to watch out for a new recreational drug in the form of lollipops that have recently become popular among youths and partygoers.

“Party lollipops” or “drunk lollipops” are street names of this drug candy, sold openly on social media channels following crackdowns by authorities on other recreational drugs, said Pol Lt-General Phanurat Lakboon, secretary-general of the ONCB.
