Police in Coimbatore arrested three individuals for peddling cannabis and cannabis-infused chocolates, according to The Times of India. The arrest adds to a broader pattern of cannabis trafficking enforcement across India documented in recent weeks, spanning cultivation busts, airport seizures, and street-level distribution arrests.

The case highlights an emerging retail distribution mode—cannabis chocolates—alongside traditional cannabis sales, suggesting diversification in informal market product formats. This mirrors enforcement focus across multiple Indian states and at transport hubs, where authorities have seized hundreds of kilograms and sentenced multiple traffickers to lengthy prison terms.

Watch for: additional details on the scale of the operation and whether product sourcing connects to larger cultivation or trafficking networks already under investigation in the region.
