BANGKOK: The government will intensify its crackdown on jelly candies and other sweets that contain cannabis extracts exceeding legal THC limits, a government spokeswoman said on Monday (July 14).

Deputy government spokeswoman Sasikarn Watthanachan said authorities are concerned that children and young people may be affected by foods, drinks, and sweets containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) above the legal threshold.
