Berlin issues health warning over candy linked to opioid poisoning

Berlin's health authorities have warned against consuming gelatin candies believed to contain synthetic opioids instead of THC, following reports of poisoning cases amid concerns that some products may be hazardous or have caused the death of a 42-year-old man in the Neukölln district. Although the forensic evidence has not yet definitively established the cause, the symptoms of poisoning align with opioid effects. Currently, three related cases are under investigation, with legal issues surrounding the sale of products containing THC in Germany. The advice is to avoid these products and contact emergency services immediately if symptoms such as severe drowsiness or difficulty breathing appear, as these candies are illegal in the country.
