According to the NCB, a new trend is seen among youngsters to consume substances by mixed and baking ‘brownie weed pot’ cakes.

Edible cannabis or ‘edible weed pot brownie’ is a food product (either homemade or produced commercially) that contains cannabis extract as an active ingredient. Edible weed pots are a way to consume cannabis.  Cannabis edibles may affect people for a longer period than smoked cannabis, according to the NCB.

The NCB has registered a case against the trio under various sections of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. PTI
