The National Narcotics Agency (BNN) assured the public it has nothing to worry about in regards to rumors about the spread of lollipops laced with illegal narcotics.
BNN first suspected that the drugged up suckers, sold freely for Rp 1,000 to Rp 3,000 each, were being spread in Bogor Regency.
“The BNN in the Bogor Regency first found a few samples suspected of containing narcotics. But after they were tested at the BNN lab, the samples turned out to be negative,” said BNN Spokesman Slamet Pribadi, as quoted by Warta Kota yesterday.
The head of the BNN Lab, Kuswardani, also confirmed the findings.
“We found sweetening agents that are found in all candies. That’s all we found and nothing else. There weren’t even any harmful coloring chemicals [in the lollipops],” he said.
So if you see your kid being hyperactive after sucking on a lollipop, it’s probably safe to blame it on sugar rush.
