Valenzuela Rep. Weslie Gatchalian revealed how easy it is to buy products that look like legit sweets but are infused with cannabis through Lazada.
These products laced with substances are “LOL Edibles” and “Medicated Nerds Rope”
Gatchalian said the packaging and marketinf of the products were already questionable. For one, LOL Edibles has its logo sitting on a pile of marijuana leaves, while Nerds Rope is selling for P11,000-P13,300.
Lazada CEO Ray Alimurung said they could not ban the product as the manufacturer did not declare cannabis in the list of ingredients.
“Lazada is unable to open the parcel during this entire journey. Because if we were to open the parcel, the customer will reject it for tampering. And if the customer rejects it for tampering, it will be returned to the seller, who will now reject it as well for tampering,” he said.
