GARDAÍ IN DONEGAL have seized vaping products containing suspected illegal cannabinoids after receiving reports of a medical incident in which a member of the public became ill.

Gardaí in Bundoran and Donegal Town have €3,080 of the vaping products during searches on 22 August.

“As a result of the ongoing investigation into the sale or supply of cannabis in the form of oil and vapes, devices and e-cigarettes in Donegal, the Divisional Drugs Unit searched a number of premises,” a Garda spokesperson said. 

The seized items included 66 vapes and two bottles of oil, containing suspected THC, HHC and HHCP. 

HHC is semi-synthetic cannabinoid that is currently not illegal but authorities have warned about its health effects

The items seized are now subject to analysis by Forensic Science Ireland (FSI), gardaí said.
