Members of the Kirkland Lake OPP are investigating an incident where a controlled substance has been distributed in the Kirkland Lake area.

During the investigation, the OPP seized a quantity of gummy bears similar to those which can be purchased as children's candy. The gummy bears were found to contain Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the principal psychoactive compound in cannabis marijuana.

Police say that along with the illegality of trafficking these cannabis-related drugs, there are health hazards associated with their use and police are encouraging parents to share this message with children as they embark on their summer vacations.
