OFFICERS of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) intercepted kush or high-grade marijuana and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis-infused gummy candies worth around PHP88,000 at the Port of Clark.
BOC-Port of Clark district collector Erastus Sandino Austria on Tuesday said the 40 grams of kush and 10 pouches of gummy candies were hidden inside a parcel declared as “sneakers.”
The parcel arrived from New York in the United States on February 1.
Austria said the parcel underwent x-ray scanning and K9 sniffing, both of which indicated the possible presence of prohibited drugs.
A physical examination revealed that the parcel contained dried leaves and fruiting tops suspected to be kush.
A chemical laboratory analysis performed by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) confirmed the presence of marijuana, a dangerous drug under Republic Act (RA) 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The BOC immediately issued a warrant of seizure against the subject shipment for violation of Section 118 (g), 119 (d), and 1113 paragraphs f, I, and l (3 and 4) of RA 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (CMTA) in relation to RA 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
