Why are illegal gummies risky?
Illegal gummies are risky because their production is unregulated. This means there's no quality control, leading to dangerous inconsistencies like those found in the Wiltshire Police seizure. The amount of active ingredients, in this case spice, can vary wildly even within the same packet, making it impossible to know the dosage and increasing the risk of serious harm or death.
