Gardaí have issued a warning about the potential dangers of THC vapes, especially in relation to young children.
"It is believed that our kids are not only being exposed to vaping at school going age but also now THC vapes," reads a garda statement.
"THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis or weed and it is therefore illegal in anything other than trace quantities.
"The health dangers of THC are warned of by the HSE and this is not our function, however established links to psychosis may result in an individual coming to our attention through behaviours as well as through illegal possession.
"The HSE also has flagged this year cases where potentially more potent and dangerous synthetic cannabinoids have been linked to illness when supplied to purchasers unknowingly.
"It is necessary for educators, parents, peers and siblings to be aware of the supply of such products which are being used by children as young as 12 or 13."
