Drug dealer caught for selling £15 cannabis sweets

A drug dealer was caught for selling cannabis sweets at £15 each and planning to supply customers with THC e-cigarettes.

When Gwent police raided Calvin Jones's apartment, they found nearly a kilogram of cannabis leaves and buds, cannabis sweets, and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical that causes a high in Class B drugs.

Andrew Kendall told the judge at Newport Crown Court that the 46-year-old defendant was arrested by police following a tip-off after a Swalec worker visited his home.

Police collected further evidence after recovering drug-related information from Jones's phone.

Mr. Kendall said: "There is evidence that the defendant purchased e-cigarette pods from a company in China to fill with THC, and he was procuring 500 pods."
