Ghana’s Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has issued a warning regarding the sale and consumption of cannabis-infused food products, specifically ice cream and snacks, on university campuses nationwide. Deputy Director Alexander Twum-Barima highlighted this as a newly identified trend posing a risk to students. The commission expressed concern over the accessibility of these products and their potential impact on student health and well-being. NACOC officials are working to identify the sources of these illicit goods and implement measures to curb their distribution. This development signals a shift in how cannabis is being consumed among young adults in Ghana. Authorities are urging vigilance from university administrators, parents, and students themselves to address this emerging issue. Further investigations are underway to determine the extent of the problem and enforce existing drug laws.
