NACOC warns of rising cannabis addiction among children in Volta through toffees, soft drinks

Children as young as 10 are reportedly becoming severely addicted to cannabis in parts of the Volta Region as producers of the substance diversify how it is consumed.

Mr Fianu also called on patriotic members of the public to promptly volunteer information on the activities of cannabis dealers in their communities.

The cannabis syndicate in the region, he said, was making a fortune from the illicit business, with producers allegedly selling the substance to clients in Togo, Benin, Nigeria and other parts of West Africa.
