Tsuut’ina Police issued a warning Friday after finding “significant amounts of marijuana and THC products” – including THC candies in the form of Lego figures – during a traffic stop.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects.
Derrick Fullerton of Calgary was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking after officers pulled over his Chevrolet Silverado on Monday.
Police said the following items were seized from his vehicle:
- 1.3 kilograms of marijuana;
- 27 THC syringes;
- 14 shatter packages;
- 204 THC candies in Lego figure form;
- Five cellphones.
Tsuut’ina police seized marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and 204 of these THC candies shaped like LEGO and in a traffic stop on the First Nation Monday.

“The Tsuut’ina Police Service would like to urge parents to exercise vigilance this Halloween season,” the First Nation said in a press release. “The bright colouring, multiple flavours and toy-like composition of the THC candies is a specific concern due to the attraction it may pose to children.”
Parents are being advised to contact police or RCMP if they have concerns about questionable or suspicious candies.
The Tsuut’ina Nation is located just southwest of Calgary.
