"A mother and her son from Burnie have been charged after authorities discovered their illegal cannabis-infused gummy lolly trafficking scheme.
As reported by The Mercury, police carried out a search at their Burnie home where 47 cannabis plants were discovered alongside silicon moulds to make the gummies and an assortment of other material.
It is understood the pair produced and sold more than 1800 bags in a 12-month period, at a value between $36,000 and $50,000.
The court heard how the lollies became highly sought after following the success of their use with the producing family’s sick pet dog, according to son Toby Cooper McLeod.
The pair have been sentenced to 16 months in jail, and must also pay $43,000 and undergo a drug addiction program."
